I have not as many helpers as I would like, but those I have are loyal. They do their utmost to help me put on our stage shows of which I am very proud. Without their assistance I would be helpless. I shall always be humbly grateful for this magnificent co-operation. In costume plays, a simple neutral coloured background will ensure that the costumes show to the very best advantage.
Any set has to be planned with the stage on which it is to be erected in mind.
Our stage at the Civic Theatre is small. The width of the proscenium arch is twenty-four feet. Wing space is practically non-existent. On stage left it is about six feet. Even this small space is cluttered up with ropes controlling the barrels.
