Your Help Needed for 
Final Reno Days of 2022

Next month will mark the one-year anniversary of the acquisition of Mason Community Playhouse. It is hard to believe that we have come so far already in our hope to make the venue the best theatre experience possible for our audiences and for those who bring shows to life for MCP. As always, MCPers have answered the call to help. Members have spent many Saturdays and Sundays over the last eleven months completing renovation tasks. 
The Renovation Committee is reaching out to ask you for two more critical Renovation Days as we reach our one year milestone. Nearly all of the renovation of Phase One on the first floor of the building has been completed. There remains a few projects to be able to close the door on Phase One First Floor. Your help is needed to make that goal a reality. 
To that end, there will be just two more Reno Work Days in 2022. Please mark your calendars for Saturday, October 15th, and Saturday, October 22nd, from 10am to 4pm on both days. There will be tasks for all ability and skill levels. 
Please make a commitment to one or both days. If you are able to do so today, sign up here on the SignUp Genius page. If you are not sure of your schedule at this point, the link will be available in this newsletter until those Saturdays. 
Help the Renovation Team close this chapter before we celebrate our 50th year. There is still work to do on Phase One Second Floor, and that will continue over the course of next year, but finishing the first floor in this phase is a huge accomplishment!

Event Liaisons Sought

The goal of MCP is to schedule renters in the space as often as possible. We will, of course, give the utmost deference to our own productions, but when the space is available, renting the venue will bring in needed income.
In order to have renters in the space, a trained MCP member will need to be present. Thus MCP is seeking Event Liaisons. This is a person who will be on site when a renter is having rehearsals or performances in the theatre. It does not have to be the same person for all of a given rental's duration. The job would be to keep an eye on the renters, to go through a brief entry and exit checklist with them, noting anything that's wrong, and to ensure that any questions or problems they have are directed to the right person (usually the technical liaison for the show, who may or may not be on site). This job does not require having specific technical knowledge or expertise. 
The more members who are trained and able to be present, the less times any one individual needs to be present. It's that "many hands make light work" adage again!
There will be a second training session for interested members on Saturday, September 24th from 3-5pm at the Playhouse. If you are interested, send an e-mail here by September 20th.
