Call for set construction and painting help.

Greetings theater friends and enthusiasts:

The backstage work and rehearsals are well underway for the Port Tobacco Players’ Production of Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

We are embarking on set construction and painting (straight and artistic/detail).

Lots of you expressed interest in helping out, and we welcome all volunteers.  Our master carpenter/set designer, Bob Asman is bringing a lot of new ideas and can use any assistance you can provide. 

If you are crafty, great!  If not, that’s o.k., too as oftentimes, help holding something up, banging nails, carrying/hauling/getting materials, and straight painting, for example, is a HUGE help.  Every bit counts on a set as detailed as ours will be.

Bob is looking for assistance beginning this week.  Particularly, starting on Wednesday any time from about noon to 6:30 p.m.  He will initially need help hauling and laying planks and readying one side of the pit to begin with.

Any amount of time you can donate – even an hour – is helpful.  Beyond Wednesday, we’ll look at Thursday (to 6:30 p.m.), Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (start-times on Th, Fr, Sat, and Sun – to be determined).  Beyond this week, we’ll continue to monitor what type of assistance is needed and reach out as necessary.

Please let me know if you are interested in helping and if so, when.  If you have any specific skills or talents, let me know that as well.  The goal is to use your time and talent(s) wisely.  Please reply directly to me (propschickkmk@yahoo.com).

The theater has tools and materials, however, if you do bring your own, please make sure that you mark your tools as yours so you get them right back (things could easily get mixed in while in the thick of the creative process).

If you know anyone else that would be interested in helping with the set, please pass this information along and have them get in touch with me.  New and not-so-new volunteers welcome!

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide!
