Then the balcony roof will be built onto the front of the theatre where it originally was located. The scaffolding will be coming down soon at the end of August.

Many of us stood below to view this incredible milestone step in the reconstruction process. In the pictures you see below, after our Wednesday matinee show of Nymph Errant yesterday, Charles helped tie the pulley rope to Shakespeare, then climbed the scaffolding to place Shakespeare with his own two hands.

The Shakespeare bust was purchased by Artistic Director Charles Burr as his contribution to the Tibbits restoration. Shakespeare has been placed in his permanent home, up in the alcove, at the base of the Tibbits' cupola. I felt like I had a 'mom and dad' to come home to all summer! Our Artistic Director, Charles Burr, and our Executive Director, Christine Delaney, are so very supportive of us and I thank them for all of their hard work here at Tibbits Opera House!'Īs we now enter our final week of Nymph Errant and our summer season, another exciting thing has occurred. My host family, Douglas and Sharon Bloom, were especially welcoming.

When asked what he likes most about Tibbits and Coldwater he stated, ' I love the people at Tibbits so much! We all work so well together and are dedicated to putting together the best shows that we can for this community, which has been so welcoming to us this summer. Jimmy is originally from Bad Axe, MI and holds a BA in Theatre and Interpretation from Central Michigan University with a Minor in Dance and Voice. I believe Jimmy was an important part of our cast this summer so I interviewed him by email and wanted to share his answers with you. To wrap up this summer, one person I didn't get a chance to interview while he was in town as an actor in Pinocchio and Chicago is Jimmy Wencel.
