Carpet is done!
Thanks to Mike Fahrlander for helping with the carpet!
We will be putting trim on the set this Saturday (4/14) and finishing up painting so if anyone has even an hour to help anytime between 9am and 5pm it would be appreciated.
NEEDED - Experience Carpeting Stairs
Does anyone have experience carpeting stairs? We need to install carpet on Saturday (4/14) for the stairs in the set of Noises Off. Work call is from 9am-5pm, so whenever you can come up during that time would be greatly appreciated! One of the actors in the show has to "fall" down the stairs, so this carpet is essential.
If you can help out, please sign up here: http://smwspotlighters.com/webform/volunteer-carpet-stairs
WORK CALL SATURDAY
There is a work call this Saturday (4/7) from 9am-5pm for the upcoming production of Noises Off. Please come and help! Parents and students are welcome to attend for all or part of the time, as you are able.
Also, props has a need for sardines (yes, the little fish) and a ridiculously long old-style phone cord (you know, the spiral-type cord that connects the headset to the base of the phone that used to stretch across your house and knock stuff over as you moved around the room).
LIGHTING WORKSHOP CANCELLED
The lighting workshop listed on the current Noises Off Tech Theatre schedule as being held this Saturday, March 31, from 1:00-4:00pm, has been cancelled.
