The prop room is organized, the wood and platforms tidy, Sera Daemi is working miracles with costumes using pieces from our collection, Doria Polinger is working her magic creating period hats and shoes, alum Helena Bruggeman returned and helped inventory lighting, parents Adam Weinberg, Nigel Hinds,Tom Butler, Diane Ciaburri, and Richard Beaven helped the cast build set pieces, rehang the commando cloth, and paint. The Beavens generously provided everyone with a tasty lunch. And Claire Raposo and Maya Sakharov pitched in to make the day successful. Special thanks to our technical director J.D. Falotico who organized and kept us all on track.
