Yes folks. Like many in our community, the 'in sane' are now in rehearsal for our final production of the year (The Karaoke Twist Christmas Special). We have the cast, we have the man who can maketh groovy sounds, what we don't have, is a set /prop designer. (PS: we don't have a lighting man either, but we'll deal with that seperately. I'd like to think I have the tools for the job, but as my tool box consists of a hammer and four rusty nails, I somehow don't think I'll be scoring the gig. So! We need one o' those clever folk who do those wonderful sets you see around evry production but ours, to offer some advice on where to start. We're thinking big! We're thinking Mega Bunning stores..what's that? Oh right. the accountant has just told me the news about my tax return, so forget mega bunnings, we're probably gonna run with more your Mini-Hardware-mart what have you got to deal with? Fourteen scenes, from coffees shop, to lounge setting, to different lounge setting, to the shops, and back to the coffee shop, and then the lounge setting, and then the garden, and then the beach, and then fishing by the river, and then back to the shops again. Bloody hell! Who wrote this? This is a train wreck about to happen! Thanks for the worfds of encouragement Walter. As you can see, the jobs a piece of cake. If you'd like to assist, even from afar, we'd love to talk endless possibilities with yer! e-mail is johnnygrim@optusnet.com.au Mobile 0404 813 294. cheers Johnny Grim A lad in sane productions

What? Another pr@t of an architect??? I think there's a special architect school somewhere that churns out "specialists" in buggering up theatres.... if only they would ask the people who actually use the flipping things we might end up with usable venues!! Still, nil desperadum and all that (excuse the very bad latin). Gobos rock gaafa, love them myself. If money is very tight it's wonderful what you can do with flattened out and cut up drink cans :) "Life is too short to stuff a mushroom"
