September Begins!

Work, work, work! The Curio office is a bustling place this week!

Here at Curio we start our season in September. And it's officially been September for 12 whole days now! So what's happening here at Curio that's go us so busy?

Well!

We've got our Benefit Gala on Saturday. We're having a whole evening of fundraising fun that will fund our new basement space.

Oh, have we mentioned we're opening a new basement space? We have? Oh, okay.Well, instead of talking about it some more, how about some photos?

We had to tear down a few walls in the process...

... but we've finally cleared out all the debris!

And if that wasn't enough fun, we also have our first full-cast read-through rehearsal for The Runner Stumbles on Monday! And then we'll have rehearsal and meetings and build days and then, finally, shows!
In fact, today's production meeting went fantastically well. Here are some shot of the new set:

Paul shows us where the next platform will be.

Do these platforms look familiar? How about that ocean?

Most of the set is up, but don't walk on it! Not all of it is secure!!

Be sure to stay tuned for more exciting news on Season 8!

Destruction

Yes, our season ended two weeks ago, and Summer Theatre Camp doesn't start until July - so you might think we'd be sipping margaritas by the pool, but you'd be wrong! Instead, we're building a NEW THEATRE! Also, we don't even have a pool (but if you have one you'd like to donate, it is 100% tax deductible).

Today marks Day Two of our not-so-secret summer project. Located right underneath the theatre space where you're used to seeing Curio shows will be a brand new space.

Complete with our own entrance:

A Lobby:

A Concessions Stand:

(currently the 'trash zone' as our dumpster arrives next week)

An Awesome Staircase:

Even A Stage:

What could be more fun than spending the summer knocking down walls with Paul Kuhn and CJ Keller?

Answer: probably a lot of things. NOTHING!

I'll keep you posted on the progress.
