Today's Mini-"Vintage"-Theatre Construction

Popped by to see how things went yesterday. Any trouble? You've amassed some very interesting stories here. I got a laugh out of the list of 'whites'. Who names all those shades? That would be fun, actually. Can never have too many pairs of scissors!
Best,
Catherine
