John. That is a fascinating video. It almost seems to be like a military operation with all the timing, coordination, radio communications, and moving parts. Very impressive. It must be exciting to work there and be part of the production.

I have to agree Dennis... very complicated process indeed. Impressive!

I had to go to its website to really appreciate this place. I was awe struck on how beautiful this place is. Absolutely gorgeous. :)

That's really cool! I've been in a few plays myself, so I recognize some of the backstage stuff. It's even more impressive when you're backstage between scenes and watching them get things ready for the next scene and stuff like that. I remember my first play. It was "Tom Sawyer" at the Opera House close to where I live. I was 10 and I played Becky Thatcher (I've got a picture somewhere, remind me to post it sometime). Anyway, during intermission, I was already in costume and ready to go back onstage, but they were still moving things and changing the backdrop and stuff like that and I walk right up to the stage manager and go "What do you want me to do?" and he looked at me like I was insane! LOL I guess I was the first 10 year old to want to help out with stage stuff! LOL
