Strike is over. The terrific reviews are pouring in. Now the cast and crew, and the staff, get a chance to relax and get back to everyday life. Mrs. Tutterow and Mrs. McCarty have inventoried all the costumes and shipped the rented ones back to numerous places. Mr. Lowell has shipped the rented backdrops back to Asheville, and he and Mr. Pusch have hauled some rented furniture back to Triad Stage Sceneshop.
But some are already looking ahead to the rest of the season. The stage managers for the February middle school production of "Seussical" are already sending memos to teachers, and upper school tech crew members are already hounding Mr. Lowell for choice positions on the April production of "The Cherry Orchard".
A quiet moment for Mrs. Tutterow to catch up on old e-mails and send out "thank you" notes.
Whenever we strike a set, Mr. Lowell donates all the small scraps of clean lumber to Mr. Burroughs. The art classes use it to fire pottery in a makeshift kiln that produces 3,000 degrees of heat! It's a final bow for the former Palace of the King.
Marian takes congratulatory calls in the Greenroom during her free period Monday.
