No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Also, I skipped. Who had to chop a Cadallac in half. The theatre I work with needs a car and an RV on stage, and want to avoid chop marks, but we only have standard sized doors going in. Is there a good way to chop and weld together so that it does not show?

BABY PANGOLIN!

I'd like to know why you needed to chop a Cadillac in half.

Really? I think once he was able to saw a Cadillac in half, it was no longer a question of need, really. Just a question of how close the nearest Cadillac was.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Yep. Three eights plus one equals two tens plus five.

Also, I am so hyperaware of the "discrimination" against costumes in theatre that I am now retroactively angry that I had to learn all the basics of sound, light and set building, but no one else had to learn to use a sewing machine!

At CCM all the undergrads have to go through a costume rotation, as they do at CalArts, or they did when I was a grad student there.

That was me, but it was years ago, in grad school. I just got to be on the destruction team.

Missed this. If memory serves we only needed the front half of it on stage. That or we needed to take a chunk out of the middle to make it shorter. We also pulled the engine so that we could put something in there...can't remember what now. All of this was for an opera.

That's awesome! Maybe it was just the tiny school I went to, and the school I am at now who discount costumes as a sort of "anyone could do this" thing.

You do have a point.

Ah.

I stand by my supposition that once you can chop a Cadillac in half, need becomes secondary.

Sophia, there have been a number of shows I've worked where I found that adopting an attitude of "You can do the play on a bare stage with the works on," the only thing that kept me sane.

I'm thinking you should consider adopting an attitude of "You can do the show buck-ass nekkid."
