Last night's "An Improbable Peck of Plays 3D" had a full house! However, a quarter of them were the Japanese students who got a $2 discount and four of them were performing their one-act and got in for free (as they should)...but it was totally full! And everyone enjoyed it. The only problem was that Andy, the stage manager (a kid of only 19 years old), was
supposed to have a key to lock up The Midnight Sun after the show, but his dad took his (Andy's) car keys, and his key to The Sun was on the key ring! AND NO ONE ELSE HAD A KEY TO LOCK UP THE THEATER!
The couple of people who opened the theater had left by then. It wasn't until the last stragglers were leaving that we realized that no one still there had a key. Several of us started texting people who had keys and had left, and eventually TAO's new vice president (who was
supposed to have had the building re-keyed a couple of months ago
) was able to come down and lock things up. I and three of the actors and one of their friends stayed at the theater until our VP was able to get there. We were only there about 45 minutes longer than usual, so it wasn't a horrible situation. Although, if we wouldn't have been able to get a hold of anyone who could come down, we were actually willing to spend the night...but fortunately, it wasn't necessary.
