The Fitzgerald
Theater (named after the ship that sank on Lake Superior) is the show's
home in downtown St. Paul. Tickets are hard to get. All these
people are waiting in the sub-zero cold for a chance to get "rush" tickets
- last minute unsold tickets. We happened to have three extra tickets,
which Cyndi sold at the "rush" price. Could'a scalped'em, I suppose,
but we were going to be sitting next to these folks all night...

The
theater isn't really that big, but it does have two balconies, and some
opera boxes. That second balcony is a real nosebleed section.
At the back
of the first floor, the glass window (just below the red light shining
right into the camera) is the broadcast booth, where the show is mixed
for radio.

Keeping in mind
that this is a radio show, the set is simple. The old house is pretty
much the only prop. A few select audience members get to sit on the
porch, and a few more on bleachers to the right. Look carefully and
you'll see two women sitting right at the end of this aisle, facing the
audience. They did sign language interpretation of the whole show.
OK, radio for deaf people.
get on with it already
