AN EMPTY SPACE - There they are! The first photos of our performing space before anything happens. Isn’t it exciting? What could be more perfect for a Halloween performance of DRACULA by the Mortal Fools?
What is this space?
Well, up above the State Hospital, at the top of Center Street in Provo, nestled up against the mountains is an outdoor amphitheatre (and yes, that is redundant) called The Castle. Lots of history in that space and we’ll get into that later, but what’s important is that at half way up the amphitheatre lies this space. The hospital calls it the kitchen. Really, it’s just an large empty room with stone walls and a fireplace.
It’s a gorgeous space to produce a Halloween piece of theatre and we’re grateful to the State Hospital for negotiating with us to let us use it for DRACULA. When we first discussed this project, the kitchen at the Castle was one of the first venues to top our list.
Now, the kitchen doesn’t sound like all that great of a venue. We’re brainstorming names and welcome your input. Right now we’re calling it The Upstairs Theatre but we’re open to better and more creative suggestions.
