Tonight we played Hamlet, NC. The venue here was one of the smallest we will play. The house sat 968 and was SOLD OUT. This is always exciting regardless of the size of the venue. The audience was great and really friendly. They laughed at all the right places and were really into the show.

I promised earlier that I was going to do a better job of taking pictures so here we go. This is the venue we played tonight in Hamlet. Those of you in Hendersonville, this is the type of space we need to build in our area. A medium size house with modest dressing rooms and adequate conference facilities. This would be ideal for our area for Steeple Players and other local productions large and small. This facility, like many of those we play were built near college campuses with private money and made available to the college for use on a scheduled basis. Maybe our county executives would consider something of this nature near Volunteer State Community College. It would definitely benefit all of Sumner County.
There were 4 dressing rooms. Can't show you those because we are not allowed to take pictures in the dressing rooms due to privacy issues. Two of them were large enough for 15 to 20 people each and two were designed for 2 people each. In addition there were 3 large meeting/banquet rooms. Again, a really neat facility in a community not nearly as large as Hendersonville.
More pictures will be coming, especially when I am somewhere with a little better internet service. Hope all is well with all of you and have a great Thanksgiving week!
