Closing Max & Rub

We performed in a school.

On Manhattan's Lower East Side.

In an "indoor garden."

In perhaps one of the most depressing gynmacafetoriums I've EVER seen.

...

The "indoor garden" was too small for the set.

The ceiling was too short for the roof.

We couldn't even put the "tree toppers" on our drops.

Our van got a parking ticket.

We had Fifth Graders in the audience.

The space was too echo-y to use mics.

We slipped and slid across the floors.

Our changing space was in full view of a whole section of the room.

We started fifteen minutes late.

...

And they (and we) still loved every second of it.



Kid quote of the day: After Max knocks down the castle and Grandma arrives for her show, Ruby informs her that something terrible has happened. "Oh," says Grandma. "What is it?" And a little kid announced, "Max, you've destroyed everything." Not a chance...
