An answer to a reader's question

The Summer Company begins to arrive on June 8th. These will be the people you DON'T see on stage: The stage managers, the set, costume and lighting designers, the people who find the properties, the carpenters and stitchers. They have a week to set up their shops and get organized. The next person to arrive in town is the director. S/He will confer with the designers to start talking about the physical production. The actors begin to arrive on the 15th of June....and, yes, you are bound to find them in North Woods when they have a few minutes to themselves.....
