The Barrie Downtown Theatre: Under the Knife Part IV, The Build of a Great Fortress

The Five Points Theatre

 The Basement

When building a new building,  It's Important to start at the bottom and work your way up.  The concrete is poured into the foundation.

The Basement of the Theatre is now complete. Beams are now placed at stage level. Dec 2010

The Walls

In January of 2011,  Scaffolding is now in place.  It's now time to start working on the walls of the Fortress of Prospero

The Fortress of Prospro is Rising

On March 2, 2011, The Walls of Propero's Great Fortress are now almost complete.  Roof Beams are now placed in the Front of House.  Prospero (Robert Joy) will arrive at this grand fortress on June 30th, 2011 for The Maiden Showing of William Shakespeare's The Tempest.

The Fortress of Prospero is three stories high.  An extension ladder is the only way to get to the second floor because the grand staircase and the elevator have not been installed yet.

A Giant Crane sits outside the Fortress.  This crane will hoist beams from stage level to form the roof.

I may be standing where the green tank is handing out programs and telling people to "Enjoy the Show." as a Theatre By the Bay Volunteer. All kinds of wood and construction stuff sits on stage at this moment of the Build.
