More progress, getting ready for last night’s first tech:

Steve Chene, our TD, continues to forge ahead on the gabled peaks for the crypt/bedroom structure. . .

Finally, the doors are installed for use in last night’s first tech. The bookcase stage right has a swinging portion at the bottom for one of Dracula’s escapes. While we’re not as far along as we’d like to be (the price of ambition in the first slot of the season), everything needed for rehearsal was present, if not perfect. But then, tech rehearsals are voyages of discovery.
