James' brother recently came to Tashkent and he had a slightly unusual request. He wanted a backstage tour of a theater. OK. Not so strange since he works as a head carpenter at a Broadway theater in Chicago. Time to see how they put on a show in Uzbekistan.
Powerful exterior. Call it modern Tsar.
Inside, the hall is kind of cozy, holding about 500 people. Understated grand.
First peek, a look at all the scenery backstage, used for a current production.
Surgery on a door in the carpentry shop. The big layout of a background curtain, in the process of painting magic.
Vintage. An old lighting board, what James' brother came to see. Red phone to Moscow. "Comrade, raise the curtain!"
