Hundred Degree Glory

Its real hot here in Prestonsburg Kentucky at the Jenny Wiley Theatre. Real hot.

Dixie Swim Club build is done, we load into the convention center tomorrow. We have a good start on Annie, and are starting to think ahead to Frog Prince. The historical drama: Legend of Jenny Wiley needs some fixing and repair, but other than that its a complete set that they use the same every 2 years.

Despite being "low man on the totem pole" as a swing carpenter, I've impressed the TD and the shop and have been given big building responsibilities, and even advised the installation of the convention centers stage.

I didn't mention that there are both indoor and outdoor shows here at JWT, Dixie is indoors and Annie, Frog Prince, and Legend are all outdoors and have the possibility of moving indoors to the Convention Center.
The convention center really isn't a space thats designed for theatre as stereotypically thought of, but it can work...there is a stage. Get it.

I wish I'd done summerstock muuuuch sooner. Its pretty cool
