"Cabaret" Closes

Nice cast! Nice show! Everyone did a real good job! Nevertheless, there were a few problems. Rachael hurt her ankle on Friday, but the sprain didn't really become manifest until Sunday. And hopefully that is our last performance at the Varsity Theater! Whether it was having the City waiting until hundreds of people were in the theater before attempting to clean out the sewer line (and incidentally depriving the cast of running water), or the troublesome electrical plug that repeatedly sabotaged the video feed to the orchestra, or the chancy air conditioning, we had a number of reminders why a unified management of the facility and the theater company might be desirable.
