The Lights That Would Have Lit Our Stage.

 

 

A View Of  The Costume Room, Through The Auditorium Floor.
Prior To  October 3rd, 2006....Unimaginable.

 

 

The Fire Morphed The Legs Of This Standing Fan...
To A Character Only George Lucas Could Have Thought Of.

 

In The Light Booth, The Heat Made A Hammock For A Burned Out Dimmer Pack.

 

 

Jim's Karaoke Television.  Also Viewed By Actors In The Dressing Room, Prompting Them On Their Entrances.

 

 

Can't Stand The Heat?   Get Out Of The Kitchen!!

 

The Clock Was Still Ticking....CALL ENERGIZER!!!

 

 

The Alcove Door...That Once Welcomed Our Guests, Now Weeps With Melted Paint.

 

 

Going Down?

This Picture Looks More Like A Scene From, "Titanic."
Where Are The Life Boat Stations??

The Actors Make-Up Room

 

 

(It Once Read)
Please Keep Beverages Off The Stage During Intermission.

 

 

The Chandelier In The Foyer...Another eerie...Titanic Like Scene.

A Window That Was Once Closed....So Sunday Matinees Were Possible.
Also A Burned Round Table From "Seeing Stars In Dixie."
(Our Last Play In The Theatre)

 

 

The Morris Theatre Guild Stage,
Where So Many Shows Were Performed, And Truly Enjoyed...
....Devastated.

 

 

In The Burned Box Office, A Courteous Sign To Other Members, Written By Treasurer Randy Lowery,
Still Is Readable

THANK YOU!!!!!!

 

The Blue Paint On The Once Again Exposed Window Frames, Expose The Previous Colors Of The Theatre,
She Was A Painted Lady.  My Personal Favorite Color Scheme.
She IS A Beautiful Lady

The Attic Vent Where Smoke Was First Reported....Lorry Root and Gary Carlson Worked many Hours to Complete.
I Remember Looking Out From That Vantage Point,
And It Was The EYE Of Our Fair Community.  You Could See Everything...
Accept The Future.

 

 

 

With Your Help,
The Morris Theatre Guild, Inc.
Will CONTINUE To Bring Live Theatre To The Morris, And Grundy County Communities.
