Director Randy Knott’s photo of the Black Comedy set after the first day of construction (February 25). The set construction crew that day was: Ben Aylesworth, Steve Blount, Pat Daly, Don Dumper, Alex Finnis, Randy Knott, Geoffrey Maher, John Murray, Jen Neidl, R.J. Ogren, Sean Ogren, and Bruce Worthel. Rebecca Poole provided what was quite possibly the most important supply of the day – lunch!

Set construction and decoration continues during weekends prior to the show’s March 23 opening.
