Striking the set after a successful show is always bittersweet. Yes, we are all very tired...but we really hate to see it go...!
After 15 minutes of
"meet-n-greet" with the parents in the lobby, Kerne and the rest of the set crew return to the stage to begin strike.
First and foremost, Mr. Lowell wants the crew to strike the backdrops so they can be returned tomorrow. Here Tris helps stretch out the cityscape drop so it can be folded properly.
After an easy 90 minute strike, the company was released to the lobby for a catered
After Party. Many students wear the new show shirts.
The underclassmen actors retreat to the Greenroom. Many of are veterans of "Beauty and the Beast" and "DHSM".
The After Party spills out into the
Hall of Fame, where soon the poster from
The King and I will proudly hang! Years from now the little girls who played The King's Children will add to this wall with impressive upper school posters of their own...
"Happy people!" The Director and Designer finally get a chance to relax and enjoy the success of their three months of hard work.
If it's a terrific production...they hate to leave! Many of the cast stayed late to watch the show video. (The Director paid special royalties to R&H for the permission to make 100 copies of the DVD as keepsakes).
Edwin, "The King", put in more hours after school building the set than the entire cast combined, so the crew unamimously voted to allow him to be the first actor to see and
sign the secret "Tech Crew Memories" wall. (This
archival graffiti magnet is hidden in the deep recesses of the theatre, beyond the catwalk). Thanks Edwin, for helping us build
your own palace!!!
