Moving Right Along

In the last blog, you saw the first of the metal wall framing that will result in a passageway from the back of the theater to the stage. Here you see that framing extended, getting closer to the stage. Since this passage way will be a flat, level path, it will be higher than the floor of the theater which will be sloped to accommodate the front seats. The orchestra pit will drop lower still. This digging out will happen this week, with the cementing of that slope taking place next week, if all goes as planned. When that is accomplished, the large opening to the yard will be blocked and bricked up, i.e. it will disappear. You get an inside look at this large opening, as well as a look at the back wall above the elevated seating area in another photo above. All the metal wall framing is completed on that back wall now.

Outside the theater, the dock has been cemented. Inside the gym annex, the metal wall frames are up in abundance, defining the spaces for rooms and passageways. It's getting exciting in there! The outside presents its own excitement as well, as men have planted a tree in each island on the parking lot. As there is now life outside, there soon will be a great deal of chattering, responding, sweating, dramatic life inside. That's what it's all about!
