Rapture Cancellation Policy

Alyssa — Thu, 19 May 2011 15:05:53 +0000

As you may have heard, the Rapture is predicted for this Saturday, May 21st, around 7pm. Since we have a show that night, we thought we should outline our Rapture policy – how the show will proceed if the Rapture begins.

There are 3 phases to the Rapture Cancellation Procedure:

1) If the sky is slightly rumbling and only spitting fire before or during the show, then we will continue the performance without stopping.

2) If rockets of flame and lava are raining from the sky and 2 out of the 4 horsemen arrive, then we will stop, hold, and wait until it calms down.

3) If it doesn’t calm down and the other 2 horsemen are descending from on high, then we will cancel. If you have a table reserved, your exit location is the Hall, where we will have a Rapture Reception. If you are seated on the ground, please proceed across the street to Chaplin’s, where you can ride out the event on their screened-in porch.

We appreciate your dedication to our theater and wish you the best of luck wherever your final destination lies. For good information in case the Rapture results in a zombie apocalypse, please see the CDC’s Zombie Apocalypse Preparedness Guide.

Don't worry about the rain!

Looks like there might be some scattered showers around the Roswell area tonight, but don’t let those stop you from coming out to see MacBeth!

We have several large canopies set up over the audience seating area, so you can watch the show and stay dry. We also have chairs available for the same purpose. We had these set up last weekend as well, and the audiences who were out said the arrangement worked very well.

So come on out! We’ll be putting on an amazing show, rain or shine.

Tonight's show (5/2/09) is canceled

Alyssa — Sat, 02 May 2009 20:30:41 +0000

Due to inclement weather, we are having to cancel tonight’s performance (5/2/09) of All’s Well that Ends Well. We will be performing tomorrow, weather permitting.

If you had purchased a table for tonight’s performance, please contact us. We will be happy to honor that table on any other performance date or make arrangements otherwise.

Thank you for your patience and we hope to see you at a future performance.

Operation Save the Fig Tree

Alyssa — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 14:47:53 +0000

So we had a bit of a scare last night. Because this is Georgia and it’s still early spring, the weather can be very unpredictable. We noticed the weather report called for a freeze, which was a cause for worry. If you have seen one of our shows in the past or have taken a peek at our pictures, you will see a large fig tree next to the large porch. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but we also use it as a set piece for our shows. Last year around this same time, a freeze killed off a large portion of the fig’s leaves, leaving a large hole in our set and headaches for our blocking. So when Nikki and I noticed that cold weather report, we knew we had to take action.

I give you: Operation Save the Fig Tree.

At one point for a show, we bought a gross of bedsheets from Goodwill. Armed with only those sheets and our determination, Nikki and I managed to cover the entire fig tree with sheets.

As you can see, the tree is big. Really big. It took the entire bag of sheets, and about 45 minutes, to cover it.

We stuck our heads up inside to make sure that the sheets were actually effective and it was definitely warmer under there.

This morning Nikki went to take the sheets off and check the state of the tree. The leaves looked healthy and non-shriveled, so I believe our mission was successful. We might have to cover it again tonight, but now that we’ve done it once, it should be a much easier prospect.
