This has been a week of rushing around to help April with school projects. Wednesday I went to Clark School to help them with a pep rally for the academic team. They needed a smoke machine so I helped provide one. As it was sitting there sputtering and not really operating at full capacity I noticed a leak under the smoke machine where the smoke fluid was leaking out the bottom of the unit. The smoke machine is over 25 years old. Like so much of the equipment at the theatre we keep machinery functioning for many years beyond its projected life span by doing repairs and maintenance.
Yesterday Jim Keeney helped April load in masking drapes to McNabb Elementary for their Gifted Talented production of the THE BOY WHO CRIED WOLF. April was very pleased with the performance that the kids did for the rest of the school. At the end of the school day the masking panels were shifted to Clark Elementary for their Gifted Talented production today of the play THE US CONSTITUTION Revivor: Philadelphia. The play is a take off on Survivor and is a musical production which teaches the basics of the Constitution. I have to copy programs for the performances before I go to the school. I will photograph one of the three performances today trying to get some good shots to send to Bad Wolf Press who are the writers for the show to put on their website.
At noon today a MHT board committee is meeting with a consultant to discuss doing a thorough survey of MHT facilities and programs. This information will be used in our Strategic planning retreat to be held next February.
April has Footlights tomorrow morning and then in the afternoon will do a Girl Scout workshop tomorrow afternoon. She spent last night from about 11 pm to midnight painting Styrofoam balls with Gesso in order for the girl scouts to make puppets on Saturday.
