This is off-topic for the blog, but i thought it might be of interest to my readership.

Someone on crew at the theatre i work for (PlayMakers Repertory Company) filmed strike for our last production, Stones in His Pockets by Marie Jones, and posted a time-lapse video of the process to YouTube.

Our theatre has a rather unusually-shaped thrust stage, over which a deck was constructed, and the entire back wall of the set consisted of 1:5 scale Holstein cows grazing in a field of grass set perpendicular to the floor. My favorite part of the video is watching them get up on a ladder and take the cows off the wall at top speed.

Thought some of you might get a kick out of watching "the two-minute strike"!

Cool. That deck alone must have been quite a feat! It was especially fun to watch the folks in stand-out brightly colored shirts appear, disappear and move about.

That is hilarious!

I think my favourite part of doing plays in high school was set-strike day. It was like a party atmosphere, and so un-stressful after weeks of stress and anticipation and etc.
