Marketing shows

Seeing as how we're under a month away from opening our doors, we have started marketing our shows. It has been tough building up the space while rehearsing five different shows at the same time, but I know it will be worth it.

Wowza!

We've got the makings of balcony seating!

Priming DONE

Finally completed 99.8% of the priming of all our walls. (I kinda ran out of paint before the last corner could get all the way done). Thank you to Nate, Ashley, Alex B and Alex F for volunteering their time to help us complete the priming. Next move - Painting!

Thank you, Women In Trades

The wonderful Organization Women In Trades has volunteered their time to build the stage for us as part of their classes. We appreciate all the work they are doing and the skeleton of the stage looks great!

Sketch Show

We're working on the title for our first sketch comedy revue.

sheesh

Where do I begin? The walls have been primered... or primed... or painted white to prepare for the actual painting...
The steel framing is getting bordered and walls are being created...
Both the ticketbooth and the stairway have been walled... with particleboard. The drywall comes next... I think? (this is actually a picture of the bathroom / storage area where all our power is housed)
Our fire sprinklers have been installed!
Look! A greenroom wall (and the mezzanine floor!)
Our good friends Matt and Brandi have come to town and have seen our space... so if you're in chicago and need a verbal description, look them up. Matt, the bar isn't in working order just yet... Matt, you can't get a drink... Matt, the bar... nevermind.
