On Sunday, October 30th, I took the following photos of the theatre where You Can Lead A Horse To Water will be performed.

That first photo is actually not a part of the theatre but it has been my rehearsal space for three weeks. Room #1506 – The Theatre Lab. It’s quite a big room and on the floor, the playing area is marked out so it’s about the same dimensions as the stage. It’s also the room where I held auditions.

The two images above are views of the foyer from two different angles. Those two free standing stands, that you can see better in the first picture, will hold glass cases and in those cases will be display items. The cases are not there now but they fit right on top of those stands. I’m not sure what’s going to be in them yet.

In that second view of the foyer, at the end of the hallway, you can see two doors, a white one on the left, then there is a display case in the centre and then another door on the right. It’s open and it’s dark inside so it might look like a black door but it’s another white door. Those doors lead into what is called ‘the coat room’ but it’s more like a small lounge. It has about six comfortable chairs and maybe two small tables. It’s one of the spaces where I’ve held most of my smaller rehearsals with either one or two actors. Inside the coat room is a door for Box Office staff to get into the Box Office. If you walk down that hallway and stop a few feet before you get to that white door, to your left, you would be at the Box Office. Below is a photo of the Box Office.

Below is the audience entrance to the theatre. As you enter there is a wall a few feet ahead of you which is the back wall of the last row of the centre seating section of the theatre, so you are in a sort of corridor. You would then either turn right or left, depending on where you are sitting, and then enter another opening which would be the right or the left aisle of the theatre.

On either side of the entrance are display cases which will hold posters or whatever other display items a show might want displayed.

Below is the stage from the back of the house (left aisle). Paul, the set builder, is on stage looking at the stage plan on his laptop and to the left of him is a part of the first set piece that has been moved onto the stage, which is the stand for the Judge. The lights on the cyc are working lights.

Below are two photos of the seating, taken from the stage. In the second one you might be able to see the lighting booth and above that is the catwalk.

The last two pictures, below, are of the workshop area where the set was built. You should be able to see the Jury risers as they are getting ready to move them onto the stage. Those risers will give the Jury three levels, the floor, a first step up and a second step up.
