Planning the Party!

As we're slowly moving into the space - I am overwhelmed with a mixture of joy and dread. Joy: that this theatre is really happening, the community is supporting it, folks are slowly registering for classes, we have two board members and performance projects are swimming around in my head. Dread: it feels like the team and I are planning a huge party, activities, decorations, food and do not know if anyone will show up. I guess this is all a part of starting a new venture.
We are in "Getting the Space Ready" mode. We're going to be doing it in a few stages:

Stage One - to be completed by Monday, Sept. 22

1. Clean space (carpets to be cleaned at the end of this week)
2. Activate window space (class description/theatre description/photos)
3. Hang Tricycle outside the space - under the awning
4. Hang colored material/poster board from ceiling to create a boarder in space
5. Define classroom area with tape/chairs
6. Set up lobby with desk/chairs/table
7. Create shelves for storage areas


Stage Two - To be completed by Nov 1? or when we have the money
1. Students paint personal bricks in back Green Room
2. Build wall to define classroom space ($)
3. Hang mirrors on back of wall ($)
4. Hang curtain over mirrors ($)
5. Hang curtain on other side of room ($)
6. Paint walls black (bottom half - chalk board black and upper half- regular black paint) ($)
7. Build stage blocks (wood/labor/paint) ($)
8. Build lighting structure ($)
9. Purchase stage lights and board ($)


What am I missing?

You're missing a very proud mother and father!

Sorry, but we have to quit - a cockatoo and some wallabys are fighting outside our window and there's no dogger in sight so we might as well stay coolth and try to gronk out.

No worries,
