A Momentary Return to Unreality
It's back to the mountains for the weekend.
Just as I was leaving last week the producer asked if I would be willing to return to help with the final load-out and shutting down the theatre for the winter, pulling benches inside, shuttering everything, pulling down the rented lights, that sort of thing. I decided to go up a bit early, so I could a few days with my friends without the pressure of a show, and also because the weather is significantly cooler up there (a high of 77 on Saturday, and 72 on Sunday!). I'm looking forward to it, this time it is essentially a vacation, at least for the first few days. Sunday night and Monday will be a lot of work, but nothing compared to the normal change-over weekend. The set will actually stay in place, whoever is there next year can deal with removing it, just as we removed last year's final set.
It's a fitting closure for the season, more satisfying than walking away and leaving the show to run itself as I did last week.
