October 31-Trick or Treat!


View of the day-Well, it's a dig into the archives for one of Al's favorite shots...because he actually took it himself!

Well it's official...the 2007 harvest season is over for us...the cutting part of it anyway. We still have to get everything cleaned up, moved home and put away for the year. Al is working on getting that done and hopes to be home by Friday. Didn't that season go fast?

Marilyn spent part of the day cleaning at home and then took the bus up to Ebenezer to unload the fifty risers...okay, more like 20...clean up the storage space and load the set pieces on the bus. She had help from Brenda, her stage manager...who is also her manager at Staples...and after three hours, it was back home to pack.

Marilyn is also heading north...to Kamsack for Theatre Saskatchewan's short play drama festival. There are nine community theatre groups from around the province taking part, with three different one act plays each night. The adjudications are held the morning after the performances and they have an acting workshop as well. Yorkton Paper Bag Players are taking the first act of a two act play they did for the mental health awareness week, and Marilyn is directing...and driving the busload of performers and sets. We are staying at a motel 5 miles out of Kamsack and they did tell us that there would be a shuttle service. This is a good thing since Marilyn has been known to quaff a few Coors Light in the green room after the evenings performance, and she doesn't drink and drive...anymore. Each night the green room has a different theme...Mexican Fiesta, 70's lounge lizard and formal, and as usual, Marilyn is trying to sew and glue her costumes, while also getting the last minute set pieces repaired.

Didn't have any goblins...
