The TD, Tom Elder and I and our 2 Union crew chiefs, Bobby and Eddie (IIRC) were brought to the Savoy theater which had 2 screens one main one in the auditorium, then a cinderblock wall in the Proscenium and a full raked seating layout on stage with an I beam running from DS to US on the SR smoke pocket about 12 foot up that supported a Projection Booth, An inspection of the Grid showed us that all the linesets were gone except for a few that were holding up the dropped ceiling of the theater space. The place smelled like a urinal. They then told us that Sarah had just bought the building and we would be renovating it. Boy were we excited until they told us that we would open Tosca there in 18 days. We had not started rehabbing the Tosca set so we had to work 10 - 12 hours a day in the shop on that. Most nights we came into the Opera house to muck out the stage because the contractor was falling behind. We opened and made it work which was amazing. What still sticks in the craw though, is that we were all laid off 2 days after we closed since Sarah (Caldwell) did not think she needed us. That Tosca featured a rather senior Victoria Des Los Angeles who did not want to jump at the end, But that is another story. I spent two seasons there before I moved on to more appreciative and nurturing theater companies. Mike Katz TD MIT Theater Arts I was there back in1983 ?

The Wells was opened in 1913 as a vaudeville house, and according to VSC's website, they did "Ben Hur" complete with horse-drawn chariots on treadmills the first year it was opened. At some point, the theatre was converted into a movie cinema, with the proscenium being bricked in to make a projection wall. In the 1970's or so, the cinema of choice in downtown Norfolk was of the pornographic variety. You could still find posters for those particular films in the late 90' laying around the galleries. One of the long-time staff Carpenters had also scavenged a pretty good set of letters from the marquee. --=20 Dave Carrico New York Metropolitan Area ------------------------------ Message-ID: <014D202957F6D8118924000F20D7342B084AE38D [at] az33exm01.corp.mot.com> From: Wood Chip-P26398 Subject: RE: odd stuff found in theatres Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2005 14:02:51 -0700 While not in a theatre, but at work, I just saw a full-sized, professional grade, uni-cycle in the storage area.!!!???

I guess Masonite got into trouble by telling people = to use there product as a siding material. Well after it got wet it = rotted out the walls of the structures it was attached to.

She auditions and gets a part in a play that looked very interesting. It features 4 characters two men and two women. The two guys are playing two aspects of the same character and the two women are also playing one woman character.. There is a scene when all four are in bed and the alter ego characters are sort of coaching the other two characters what to say and how to behave - does this ring a bell with anyone?
