Description

This stage (set up here in Strathcona Park, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) is made out of interlocking blocks; the same blocks A Company of Fools uses in all of their summer showcases. Every day they drive to the park, set up the stage, do the show, tear it down, and pack it up for the next day. The biggest challenge with this set for the company to tackle was the fact that they had to have moving doors!
