Real community theater involves the community so this evening cast members and friends of the
Davis Musical Theater Company gathered at the theater for a night of clean-up, painting, carpeting, moving and organizing of props, and other duties as necessary.
With the West Side Story and Grease runs over, the sets and props from both those plays had to be taken apart and stored away. Then the pieces that will go together to create the sets of Oliver and The Velveteen Rabbit have to be retrieved.
In the meantime, carpet runners for the aisles had to be cut, glued and stapled. Walls that had gotten dings had to be painted, tape and dust had to be cleaned from walls and ledges. There was indeed something for every age to help with.
The only problem was that there just wasn't enough time in the evening to get it all done. I suspect we'll have mini-work parties every night of rehearsal for the next four weeks.
