"Shards-O-Glass"

Once we made off with the "Glass Menagerie" set from Triad Stage, we had to unload it at school. I had my 6 member Stagecraft class unload Mr. Pusch's giant trailer. Luckily the weather was beautiful to work outside on the Loading Dock behind the theatre. Below, A.J. and Tyler off-load the first sheet of plexi-glass. It looks really scary with all that broken glass stuck to it!


Then we laid down some tarps to catch the pieces of broken glass. Here, Kerne uses a homemade scraper to brush the chunks of glass off the sheets of 1/2" thick plexi-glass.


The panels from Triad Stage had the remains of hundreds of glass bottles, glasses and jars glued to them with silicone. Moises and A.J. scrape another panel:


We also unloaded an equal number of wooden "honeycomb" platforms that support the plexi-glass panels. I call these "triscuits". Here, Tenesha stacks the platforms in the Studio Theatre.


Finally, the after-school set crew struck all the tiny blocks of wood from the Triad Stage platforms that will not be needed for Evita.
