@karlauerbach That's a terrific show, and TheaterWorks had been doing some great work lately. I think I'm out of town for the whole run, though. 😢

    @chardlee I was surprised to see that the show was directed by Robert Kelley. He's got to be getting quite old. I wonder if he remembers me? (Kelly was the head of Theatreworks during the roughly 15 years I did backstage work for the company. Kelley disliked green lighting, so we renamed "green" to be "Italian blue".) They did a good job on Come From Away - I suspect that it is a tough show because it essentially never pauses and there are a lot of quick, but small, costume updates. They must have rebuilt the attic area over the stage - when I was doing shows in there there simply was not enough fly space. But last night they were flying out fairly tall set pieces (tree trunks.)
