The Stratford Shakespearean Festival, in conjunction with IA 357, is advising ALL of their members, non-IA staff and employees of their plans to host two afternoon training sessions, one in October with the second a few weeks later in November.
NOTE: I'm neither advertising nor promoting this, purely pointing out how thoroughly they're ensuring EVERYONE on their properties and / or within their buildings and environs will be well aware of their scheduled events well in advance of their scheduled occurrences in light of our current times and recent events.
Purely FYI;
Synopsis: The Festival has contracted with a Fight Director for two afternoons of weapons training with emphasis on safe handling and storage. The fight director’s company name is “Rapier Wit”. The fight director’s not coming to discuss knives, daggers, foils and swords but gun handling, storage and the firing of blanks. The essential “thrust” of their memo is to notify persons in and / or on their buildings and properties in advance to be aware of the sounds of gunfire about to erupt within their building in general and auditorium in particular on: “the afternoons of Thursday, October 26th and Thursday, November 16th, from 1-5 pm.” Their sessions are to begin as essentially noiseless training sessions presented in a classroom environment after which they're to culminate in all attendees moving into their main-stage and auditorium where all attendees will be firing a variety of legally prepared prop' weapons and likely from various locations, possibly so directors may hear the differences in the sounds of the various weapons as perceived by patrons seated in a variety of locations within their thrust-stage auditorium when fired from various locations both on and off stage.
There you have it, another sign of the times in our current era. I'd be very surprised if they haven't ALREADY advised their civic and provincial police departments and their local army barracks as well.
@Quillons , you may appreciate this in light of the your pseudonym and their fight director's company name.
@EdSavoie , you may appreciate this as well.
Toodleoo!
