Recently I was sent on assignment to our Orenda Road "office". Everyone has always referred to it with a smirk accompanying the word "office". (If we were having this chat in person over coffee you would be annoyed with me by now for my over-use of air quotes, justifiably). Although I've been working here for more than 3 years, I haven't had cause to venture over there so I didn't get it. Now I understand. More accurately, the Orenda "office" is like one part club house, with a huge woodworking shop, a rehearsal space, storage facility and I guess there are some desks in there somewhere.

I was actually there to photograph the first read-through of 12 Angry Men (more to come on that soon) and I just couldn't help but wander around. I felt a little bit like Alice down the rabbit hole! Here is a peek at some of the fun things I found on my visit:



Gorgeous detail on this antique register. They don't make them like that anymore!



Signs from shows of seasons past.



An instant apothecary at your service, complete with eye of newt.



A phone from every decade



.... and, last but not least, what prop room would be complete without a Jackalope!
