Yesterday I drove to Salisbury Grange for their open house. In addition to my interest in historic buildings, I wanted to scope out the space for Shooting at the Grange , our upcoming murder mystery.
I like the stage.
It is a gorgeous place, all beautifully stained wood. I don’t know why I didn’t take a shot of the ceiling.
It looks solemn to me.
They had it set up the way it used to be for meetings back in the day. Each officer had their own podium. Some of them were also Masons, and they borrowed some of the ceremony and symbolism.
“Ooh, the Masons,” I said. “They were intense.” Full disclosure: my knowledge about the Masons comes mostly from the movie From Hell.
Mason stuff.
Another view.
I spent a lot of time chatting with the Grange volunteers. They are very excited about the murder mystery and have already sold a number of tickets. They have great plans for the Grange; they hope it will become a real community center with many different events.
Maybe even a sing-along!
I was taking pictures to show my cast as well as for use here. I hope we will be able to rehearse at the Grange next week. It will make a great blog post.
Just to re-iterate the information.
