It's "Load-In" Day!

The delivery truck from the Brewer Scaffolding Company arrived, and our Maintenance staff helped unload several tons of painters' scaffolding. Here, Nedjo moves a pallet of parts toward the stage door. (Click photos if you need to enlarge them).


Crew members Niklas and Kris unload the pieces that are too wide for the tractor to load through our roll-up door. By the way, when the theatre facility is completed, this roll-up door will actually be INSIDE and this area will be enclosed as part of the "Sceneshop" carpentry room.



Roger guides the heavy load off the truck. In all, there are 400 pieces of scaffolding used to build my set. Yet even so, the rental of this equipment saves a lot of money compared to the usual lumber style construction!


Niklas and Kris show off the incredible strength needed to be a steelworker! We stacked all 400 parts on the orchestra pit cover to be sorted. There were no assembly instructions, so by process of elimination, we had to pull out the parts week needed first.
