t the road early for the drive from Marshfield to Viroqua. 
We met for 
breakfast at 7 am, and hit the road around 7:45. The roads were "snow-covered and slippery" but not bad. We made sure to stay on the biggest roads in the area, and aside from having to stop for the LONGEST TRAIN EVER, didn't experience much of a delay in our travels.Load-in was a bit rough in the beginning, but after a delicious lunch of pizza and coffee and sour-dough bread our attitudes all started looking up and we did just fine!
The Temple Theater in Viroqua is another really cool old theater, with some fun touches. They were very eager to give us a tour, and show off some of the old touches still oresent in the building, including the awesome fire curtain covered with advertisements from the early 1900's. They are also very proud of their basement lobby floor, which is cememnt but painted beautifully to look like marble, and the bathrooms down their are a marvel as well!
In the dressing room area, there was a "secret" passageway to get to the front of house and the booth... but the door to the passageway is a bit small!
One of the first things we did upon arriving in Viroqua was call the board president of the Temple Theater to make sure that there was in fact going to a be a show that night despite the snow...which there was! The show was sold out, but only about half the house showed up. Luckily, the theater was able to earn some money by re-selling the unused tickets of season subscribers.
Fun was had by all though, despite the frightful weather!
