Have A Seat

Since it was nice today I spent a little time outside snapping some scenic shots. While I was up by the theater itself I noticed a tree that had been damaged during the ice storm.

It looked unique so I had to snap a picture and share!




It cracked from the weight of the ice and the limb had to be removed.

Where they cut the limb it makes it look a little like a seat. Don't you think? So maybe it isn't super comfy, but Abe roughed it ... we can too right?

How about we put it here?

"Let's see ... I think we should put that here. Or wait ... what do you think?"

I can't help teasing the guys that work on the exhibit. They laughed because today is the first time they say they've not seen me in high heels.

No offers to help ... whew!



This is the wall in the Lincoln Exhibit that you see on your left as you enter. I think it looks nice; they're moving along smoothly. I'm pretty thrilled that I didn't have to help with the chinking ... that stuff can get messy. And it is hard to remove from your hair; trust me, I know.


That lovely thing he's holding is a nail gun. I didn't get too close in case they weren't fans of me taking pictures. I'd say they're used to me darting in and out by now.

Before and After

This morning when I arrived the lovely gents that are upgrading the electric at the amphitheatre were removing the cluster of sound equipment that was suspended above the stage.

Before the cluster was removed I grabbed the camera and took a few before and after shots.

After

And then they ride off into the sunset on the Genie S-85!!
Okay, so maybe it isn't the sunset, but still.

That Genie looks like a fun ride!

Still hard at work ...

The lovely gents working on the Lincoln exhibit are still hard at work. I think they've been here every day this week. So far they've only had one small problem with the furnace dying ... which was repaired and now they're back at it. Hanging drywall and mudding.

I tiptoed around and snapped a quick photo.


Bob jokingly asked if I planned to help ... high heels and all. Unfortunately I'd left my tool belt at home. Maybe next time.

Set Design Explanation

A sneak peek video of our set design! Our artistic director, Scott, explains how the design will function and what makes it so unique.

Fun!!

And so it begins ...

Construction on our Lincoln exhibit has started!

Now that you've seen the model of the exhibit you can see the progress of the construction ...



More photos to come as I snap them!

Lincoln Exhibit

Eric, our managing director, has been working very hard the past few months sketching and researching for the Lincoln exhibit that we'll have here at the amphitheatre. Just another piece of our 'Lincoln Experience.'

After lots of research and tiny little props he has designed a model of the exhibit. It looks like it was fun to build ... here are some photos.

Maybe he'll start building dollhouses now that he's used to working with the tiny little furniture and pieces.
