Performance Schedule

After months and months and months and weeks of waiting (and bribe giving), we finally have our performance schedule and space. We're fairly excited about the time(s) and the place, only because we have no other choice.

Noon performances? Okay, sure. We're thrilled as all get-out. Pleased as punch.

Last time I performed at noon was in the seventh grade with the Lunchbox Players at Willard Junior High in Berkeley in the early 1970s. (One thin American dime got you and your classmates skits about a car wash and Italian pizza parlor. Was it funny? Sure. You got your dime's worth. And if not, shouldn't you be in PE right about now?)

The theater by all accounts is quite nice. That said, we have no idea 1) how many it seats, 2) whether it's procenium, three-quarter thrust, in-the-round, or a puppet's playhouse, 3) how big the stage is, and 4) where and exits are. Roll With The Punches is a little complex staging-wise. It's gonna be kinda hard to figure out how to stage the show over the next 5 weeks when I have no frickin' clue what the theater looks like.

Oh, well. That's why they call it "live theater."
