Baraboo

This theater was another oldie but a goodie! It hasn't seen the great restoration that the theater in Stoughton has, but you can kinda see in a few of these pictures that on some panels they have done exmaples of what the theater would look like if it WERE restored.

The dressing rooms were especially unique... I believe the terms I'm supposed to use are "historic" and rustic". They were in the basement, and yes, rustic would describe them!

In our two days in Baraboo, we had quite a bit of excitement.

First, we found THE BEST buffet lunch ever in the world, for a mere $7.

Comps were fun here - Bill, Steve and I spent a good part of half hour putting chairs like this one from the dressing rooms into the theater's orchestra pit to ensure that everyone would have seats!

And of course, it was a brilliant moment when, just a few seconds before he had to go onstage, Doug came up to me frantically asking where he had put his gloves, hat, and scarf! We managed to find them in the dark (he had put them on a nearby garbage can), but I laughed for about the next 5 minutes straight, and was only able to tell the others over headset that "Doug lost all his clothes"... they were a bit worried about what they might see when the lights came up onstage!

Then, the REAL Cubby Cuvernon was in attendence. 'Nuff said.
