Warehouse party

Last night, Lisa and I went with my dad out to his warehouse in Independence to "shop" for office furniture to use as the UnE set. We were hoping to find some stuff on wheels, and the rest we'd mount on platforms with casters. But to our surprise, we found everything we needed all already on wheels.

The coolest find was a full cubicle on wheels. It's a whole desk made of compressed sunflower parts - it's an organic desk! It has panels attached to it to wall it off, some of the panels have bulletin boards on them, and one has a white dry-erase board. So the desk side of the cubicle will be Nora and Reed's desks. But when we flip it around, we have instant background panels, including a dry-erase board. It has a little matching file cabinet/chest on wheels we're going to roll around and use as various things. We also found a perfect small, round kitchen table on wheels and two possibilities for a conference table on wheels. 

Of course, we needed 5 rolling desk chairs, which we knew would be easy to find. The great thing is, my dad found us 5 chairs that fit the personalities of the 5 characters. We have a big, professional looking black arm chair for Reed; a slightly smaller, less imposing black armchair for Nora; a flower patterned armchair for Tracey, a bright blue-green chair with short arms for Zach; and a tiny, armless, beat-up-looking, plaid, crappy chair for Barry.

My dad's even arranging for the furniture to be delivered to CPT for us on Feb. 16. It's our whole set, pretty much, and it's taken care of!

Lisa has contracted one of her interns (and is working on one more) to be admin assistants in the show - basically, furniture movers in costume. Things are coming together.
