This place is incredible! How did you get involved with it?

I was a tech for the longest time, and they were having me do a lot of electrical repairs on the building. Over time, they adopted/hired me.
As for initial involvement, pretty much I signed up (I think online) as a volunteer. They e-mailed the volunteers that they needed crew (for The Sting, act, my first show with them) and the rest is history.
The pit is likely a dead space behind a house wall in front of the pros. As for drainage, the house roof is sloped, runs into cast iron leaders, and from there into the storm system. Being downtown, we have to drain straight into the mains, they don't want us dumping water into the street.
Oddly, though, that reminds me of how our theatre was flooded- not straight from the river, but from the sanitary drains. They were overwhelmed, and found any open spots... like basements of buildings.
