Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] What's up with people


Hi all;
    Just a quick question. Does it seem that all schools want you to load in 
your "Puppet Stuff" through the most inconvenient entrance in the school? Do 
other share this problem?
    Today we performed at a school with the auditorium located in the middle 
of the building. Though the room had exits out the back to a paved 
playground that was connected to the parking lot, the school personnel 
wanted us to load in through one whole wing of the school. (WHAT!!!!)They 
were actually shocked when I asked that instead of dragging our van-full of 
equipment through the halls of the building we just load in through the back 
doors. We did finally get our way but it took 2 no actually 3 people to give 
the OK.
    I know schools are very structured in how they do thing but come on this 
situation is a "no brainer".
    My advice to all is always look at your performance area before bringing 
in any equipment.
    In looking back on this I think I am coming across alot more ticked-off 
then I really am, it's that this stuff can really bug me. Thanks for listen 
to my soapbox.
