“If the wagons a rockin, don’t comma knockin’!” This is what Kelli proclaimed to the art fair goers as we rocked out to music coming from the main stage. We were taking a shift together at the Pentacle Theatre’s gypsy wagon talking about the current show and the next season. It was fun and we stayed pretty busy during our two hour shift. We also had a lot of fun in between customers. After we performed our chair dancing show, the volunteers across the path at the Salem Repertory Theatre performed Act 2. We saw a lot of friends and it was a generally really fun day. I also loved taking pictures at the fair. It was so nice to take pictures for the pure joy of it again.
The backstage work at the theatre is getting better too. I’m learning the movements. Backstage work is really like the dance you don’t see. It can be well choreographed and I’m learning the roles. I never realized all the little alcoves right off the stage the crew hides in during the show so they can easily change the scene. I like the experience and it’s nice to see more of what goes into a show.
