A little bit of magic

from Lynn Baber, Artistic Administrator

I really think that theatre has a lot of magic in it.   I’m really lucky to have a job where there is a little bit of magic in every day.  This week’s magic looked like this~

Five minutes before The Marvelous Wonderettes closed:

Two hours after The Marvelous Wonderettes closed:

mwset-2hrs

Twelve hours after it closed the stage looked like this:

mwset-12hrs

And 36 hours after it closed it looks like this:

mwset-36hrs

Not only does that seem magical to me, it seems kind of impossible.  We do the impossible and the magical all the time around here.  It’s our job.  I can’t wait to see what Northlight looks like tomorrow.
