We have the theatre rented for 3 weeks. Friday night, we left our tools, paint, and props out, and locked the theatre. Saturday, for the first time we bought locks, stayed late and locked up all the props in the props cabinet, and all the tools in their storage unit. I left at 3:00am, after cleaning the theatre and locking up the tools, lumber, and paint.
Between 3:00am Sun morning, and 9:00am Monday when I returned -- so basically, sometime Sunday -- Seattle Center was robbed. They took $20,000 worth of equipment from the Center School, jimmied our theatre door's lock, and stole the small mixer board from the booth. Fortunately, that was the board that handles the house lights. They left the big one, which actually handles all the regular lights.
So now I am in the eerily warlike situation of locking up not only costumes, props, and tools at night, but also the mixer board.
Last night we did the last spacing & choreo rehearsal on set. This afternoon is cue-to-cue, tonight is run.

Amazingly good hunch - to lock the things up before it happened. Bet you're glad of that
Hi there...
Have you ever think to use Haloscan for your blog (www.haloscan.com) ? It might be more convenient than the Blogspot commenting system.
Cheerios,

As they say here, "trust in Allah, but tie up your camel." Best of luck with the play. Read about 6 entires, enjoyed and was going to sneek away without commenting, when I saw your goal about time zones, etc. I'm Owl's mom in Pakistan. Good reading here.
