Wait. What? What is happening?
Oh, actually, we know! And it’s totally amazing.We’ve built a stage for the downstairs theater. Not just any stage, but a stage to stand the test of time. A stage that will be beautiful and functional, and which will allow us to sit on the stage floor and be seen by the audience.
And when I say we, I mean we’ve been working with the amazing set designer Ia Ensterä to build us a stage. You’ve probably seen Ia’s work around town: in Graham Schmidt‘s Uncle Vanya, in Hyde Park Theater’s Lieutenant of Innismore, in Sky Candy’s Cosmicomics and countless other things.
Design director Kaci Beeler has been working hard on this for a while, and after many meetings and planning sessions that she held with Ia, it’s finally happening.
All of us on the Hideout management team have wanted to show the downstairs some love since we took it back, and now we finally get to.
Ooooing and Ahhhhing may commence now.
