We were working on the set in the lobby of the Tank, and Jacob (creator of www.creaturesofyes.com and our resident wizard) was painting amazing expressionist flourishes on the machine. A stage manager for a dance show walked by….
Stage manager: is this a Christmas show?
Us: Nope! It’s a puppet show…
Stage Manager: Oh… I hope you won’t be offended, but it looks like Santa’s workshop!
Us: We are the opposite of offended! That’s the best thing you could have said!
