One of my favorite stories from the tour so far:
This morning I came into the rehearsal room to find a shipping receipt folded on my desk. This isn’t completely out of the ordinary. Sometimes things get sent to the theatre in my name, such as props, the payroll/mail packet from New York, and so forth, and whoever receives it leaves the receipt for my records.
I didn’t recognize it, so I picked it up to see what it was. The delivery was itemized thusly:
Qty | Description of contents | Weight |
1 | trailer load of theatrical effects | 21,000lbs. |
It was a slightly bigger package than what I was imagining when I saw the receipt. I think the dimensions of the box are something like 53ft(L) x 8ft(W) x 13ft(H). I wonder if the Postal Service offers a flat rate box for that.
