Nails, Wood, and Power Tools!

As Berkshire students eagerly cheered for the home games that took place on campus this Saturday, a lot of work went unnoticed in Allen Theater. The cast of the fall production, “The Importance of Being Earnest,”spent most of the afternoon building the set for the show. Some cast members had never painted, used a power tool before, or have worked with wood.

However,they readily took the task upon themselves and built a platform, which now takes up most of the stage. It definitely was not as easy as it sounds; it took about six hours and lots of sweat! The end result is amazing. 

 

Mr. Howard, director of the play, commented on how “highly impressed” he was with the platform. Now that we have the platform ready, and another set-build on Saturday, the play is really starting to come together. It’s time to take it up a notch.
