Depression At Dusk

Actually, it’s there at dawn, too. We’re speaking here of the physical sort that has the technical name of Detention Basin West (“Dusk”)—what you have read about here before as the detention pond. What you will see in this posting and the one to come is the basin in process. As you will recall, the basin has been in place for months just west of the theater, waiting its turn for attention. (The Muses would say, “First things first.”) And attention has not been wanting in the last few months. The first step shown here was the spraying, if that is the right word, of a very fine top soil to the necessary depth, begun on August 18th. and taking several days. Next came the rolling out of seed “carpets” that were stapled to the sides of the basin. The placing of various plants to aid in the absorption process was the next step. It’s all in the knowing! Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of “Depression at Dusk (Dawn, Too)”.

Prop The Imagination

The theater is all about creating a world, usually one or a few persons' little world. A visit to the prop storage room reveals that the masters of illusion there are busy creating Annie's little world. So here's a peek. Amazing, isn't it! Our prop creators are masters indeed. The Muses are pleased.

If you wish to see more and haven't marked your calendar yet, here's a compelling reminder. Performances for the public are Oct. 9, 10, and 11. The three evening performances begin at 7:30, and Sunday afternoon's performance begins at 2:00. You won't see the Muses, but they will be in rare form (literally) for certain during those days.
