Ahhh!, Just as we are going to be spending money on some upgrades and renovations, The main curtain gets damaged.
I don't know if anyone has had experience in this but if so, please help.
Well when I ran into the school the other day, I was in the theatre to just check up on everything, just see if anything has happened since I was gone, and what do I see first? Our curtain tied up with a METAL WIRE. Omg I almost died. Stage right hald of the curtain was tightly wrapped in this wire, and stage left half tightly wrapped in a rope. I undid the wire first and it looked like they just ripped hte wire of something. I undid the other side and closed the curtain, it looks horribel....We have had times we a teacher has loosly tied up the curtain because someone had manually moved the curtain so it was allighned witht he track so when it was opened it wouldnt open all the way because it wasnt on the track right, and I wasnt there to come down and lower the curtain and just extened the curtain tot he correct length, and that left grooves every 5 inches or so and after a while we got them to come out. But this is just horendus. The side with the wire and big gashes in it every so many inches and the gashes are coated inr ust from the metal wire, and the side that had the rope had some fairly deep gashes. To me it seems there is notihng to do but get a whole enw curtain, it is EXTREMELY noticable. I have informed the principal already and they are preparing to get a new curtain. But before they do I wanted to ask to see if anyone here knew any tricks on getting out these grooves in the curtain.
If not, well, looks like the maintenance depertment is giving us another couple thousend dollars :/ (The same people who blew out our lighting system, I mentioned it lightly around here before, I will explain the lighting system thing if anyone wants me too.)
I do like it when thigns break though, because it jsut gives a valid excuse to get a new one .
But its annoying waiting for it to be isntalled though.
Wonder would would happen if some flys mysteriusly failed.
