Scare Tactics

Ok.

For those who know me, you know I don't scare easily. Well, today something did occur that I felt I needed to share. It was something that I wouldn't necessarily put in the "scare" category, but my heart definitely skipped a beat...

Currently at the theatre, we are running Arsenic and Old Lace. I was running around from dressing room to dressing room today distributing various pieces of information to the actors. 11 out of 12 of our actors are located in the dressing rooms on the 2nd floor of the building (which are the traditional rooms for our Main Stage Theatre, which is located on the 1st floor). Anyway, 1 actress is in the lone dressing room on the stage level due to her bad knees.

So, I'm going around dropping off information and I get to the final dressing room. I had never been to this room before. I even had to search for it because I hadn't even seen the door in passing. As I unlock the door, turn on the lights and enter the space, two dead bodies are facing me!

I had not been expecting to run into the 2 dead body props from the show (which btw, are EXTREMELY realistic)!! Let's just say, the heart did skip a beat and I'm grateful that I now know where they are being kept!
