Heavy Lifting!

This post is from Open Dream Ensemble GM and Artist Producer, Rebecca Nussbaum. Today she got to watch a performance of Big Shoes and witness the cast load the set in the rain!

The Open Dream Ensemble cast was hard at work in classrooms across North Carolina last month. During the past three weeks they created and taught a total of 167 classes. This week, they will load-in, perform, and load-out a total of 10 times. As anyone who has seen Open Dream in action can attest, this is a talented and hard-working group of people. Not only does the cast perform and teach, they also do the load-in, set-up, tear-down and load-out for each performance. And with a full set, sound equipment, props, and costumes, that is some heavy lifting. Thankfully, they bear their load with humor, grace, and more than a little muscle.
