The Magic Behind Midsummer: Setting the Stage

(and Taking It Down Again)

It’s a lovely summer day. The audience arrives, lawn chairs and picnic in hand, and finds a perfect shady spot. Soon, there will be infatuated antics and silliness....

 ...3 hours before the actors arrive
 ...4 hours before show time
 ...8 intrepid ushers
 ...9 hearty individuals

Then after
    ...7 actors play in an
    ...80-minute play
    ...2 hours to pack it all away

  and onto more magic tomorrow!
