Saturday, right after the show. Pot-luck — bring a dish, a salad, or a dessert; BYO alcohol. Come celebrate the company.

Striking the set 🌿

After the final performance we put the site back the way we found it — everyone lends a hand. Many hands, quick work, and home under the stars.

Memorizing your lines

Learn your cues, not just your lines. The last few words spoken before you are your real trigger — drill those.
Walk it while you learn it. Tie lines to your blocking; the body remembers what the sitting-still mind forgets.
Work in small beats. A few lines at a time, fully off-book, before you move on — then layer them together.
Say it out loud, every day. Silent reading is only recognition; speaking it is recall. Record yourself and listen back.

Starter tips — Mari, replace or refine with your own.
