Stage door is unlocked for me by band >director but doesn't give me any lights. It's dark! I think I remember >where the switches are and make my way over to that area. I start groping >around on the wall for the light switch and hit the curtain switch instead. >Lots of noise with large things falling over and glass breaking as the >curtain drags across a stage set. > >The front of the stage set didn't survive. Two large walls fell over, one >hitting a sofa and buckling, the other draping itself over a table with a >flower vase and type writer on it. Two panels popped out of this one. >Flower vase in lots-o-pieces. CA glue could put humpty dumpty back together >again. > >I find the drama instructor and he starts yelling some choice words, not at >me but just venting. He's done, then another little out burst. He's >finished now and I haven't said anything other then "Sorry." I tell him I'm >a good carpenter (previous business) and would be happy to meet with his >chief set builder to get this mess back together and put up. He likes that >idea and heads off to teach a class. > >Little white flower vases are nonexistent in Litchfield County. > >Yow! > >Doug Mahard
