Doll's House Work Call

We had our first major work call for A Doll's House on Sunday, October 12th:
.

Volunteer John Kearns consults with Mark Barnhart on set plans.

.

Reiner Prochaska frames a wall flat.

.

Props mistress Lorrie Tripp and Milee McDonald attempt to fix a broken bulb on this pre-lit Christmas tree. In the end, Lorrie had to get new lights.
.

Sarah Straw sorts bolts, screws and other pieces of small metal. (this is for Ken, who says there are not enough pictures of me on the blog - so here I am!)
.

Julie spent some quality time in the new costume shop, sorting and organizing. She wasn't ready for her close up : ) I know it looks chaotic, but amazing progress has been made and it's super exciting to actually be able to find things!
.

Ken Poisson helps Julie in the costume shop, sorting skirts.

.

Jon Paul Duvall and Ali Lepelletier work on cleaning up the windows Mark rented from the ReStore. This was a tough and time consuming job: first they had to scrape off foam insulation and paint, pull out nails....

.

Then pop out the plastic window pane dividers and clean the whole unit with soap and water and then...
.

Get tough with the windex. Ali and Jon Paul take no prisoners.
.

Karen Paone, Mak Nichols and Pat McDonald took over hardware sorting duties. Every piece had to be organized by type and size. I didn't know there were so many screw sizes!

By the end of the day, both the costume shop and the scene shop were cleaner, and we had several walls framed out and ready for facing and installation. Mark will be working on the set during the day this week - volunteer opportunities abound! Give us a call if you would like to help.
