'Producing in parks presents challenges, but it’s worth it.' | kerryreid
Producing artistic director Beth Wolf notes that being a portable production presents challenges. “Because we are such a small company, we don’t have the budget to rent a truck or hire drivers. We rely on our touring company of mostly actors and usually a stage manager. Not everyone has a car, but every year enough people have cars that we can load everything in and out. And part of that calculus is creating a plan for which items go in which people’s cars and how many cars do we have this year.
Production and operations manager Alex Rhyan is the point person for figuring out the transportation and setup, which include a portable stage and sound system, but no props or costumes. “We need to pack everything in and be able to pack everything out with us. Even though we’re going to Park District places, we like to be very self-sufficient because we don’t know what we can rely on. Every park is different and every park has different amenities.
