Steel week ~ Welding time
Another busy day at Center Stage. We've begun welding and assembling the steel frames that will form the platforms for the seats in the hall.
All our attentions are now focussed on the build and getting things done.

The Center Stage build marathon - Final Push
Hi Everyone
The last time I was this tired was when Jared had cholic and we were doing 'all nighter'
cable and hardware update at ABSA banks all over Johannesburg.
About 2 years ago, we hatched a crazy plan to establish the first 'brick and mortar' professional English theatre in Israel. In hindsight, I can honestly say I had no idea of the potential this venue holds.
BTW - if you don't know us - visit us at www.centerstageisrael.com
And if you want to see the latest things that we've accomplished on site - check our photo album

The pressure is on to get the tiered seating into the big room, which was painted black on Wednesday - thanks to my hero team Jonathan, Gregory, Jared, Assaf and Guy, all pushing themselves to get things done. We have had to hire business certification consultants to ensure that we do everything right, once, to 'teken'. They apparently are not big fans of MacGyver techniques :D The next two weeks will involve lot of welding and platform building onsite so we dissuade pop-in visits - Thanks.
There is a growing swell of support for our venue. Even acts from abroad are showing interest in performing in Ra'anana. Add to this some workshops, and I hope to rope in the rising English stand-up comedy gang. I'm sure they will come preform often if we can show them a good time.
With the entire family now totally committed to the theatre build, we would be in financial 'free fall' were it not for our generous patrons and everyone who supported us on HeadStarter - Thank You. We may need to run the crowdfunding options again and sell more future tickets. What do you think? Too chutzpadic?
We continue our hunt for corporate sponsors, donations and bridging finance to clear these final costs and open our doors to being very busy. Please contact Daniella if you know anyone or win the lottery :D . daniella@centerstageisrael.com
I am really excited to start this seating build. The teken boyties have done 2000 seaters so we are like a joke for them. Watch the album if you want to see the progress - going to really try to put up as much video sharing as I can - it's the easiest way when your hands are filthy. Warning - this may become a vlog :) .
Hope ya'll having a great Summer / Winter - Feeling blessed - Loving life.
Hugs and love ~ Shabbat Shalom
