A Castle is Coming!

In the midst of show preparation madness, blog updates have unfortunately taken a hit. However, there is BIG news! It only took a 16' moving truck and a very kind Mr. Moreno (we weren't too keen on driving on the front lawn) to get things started, but the set for JOUST! is officially underway.

We are transforming the stage into a medieval castle complete with elevated platforms for the Damsels & Mighty Medieval Men, a perch high upon the castletop for Merlin to oversee the happening of the castle grounds, and a functioning drawbridge that will be nothing shy of a grand entrance.

I have to give my husband a HUGE thanks for his persistent work in getting all of this constructed. I've never done a construction project and boy does it tire you out. That's okay though - the kiddos will love it. With it being still in raw form right now, its a little tough to see but by Friday it should have every last detail in place. 

Some of the students have even been getting their hands a little dirty with prop construction. Last week, some of the cast members tried their hand at some paper mache to create balloons that will hang above the castle courtyard. There's still a few more clouds to go, but it should look fantastic!
