💼 What the programme involves
Last year, one part of the building of the Open-Air Theatre was torn down in order to build a new one. Therefore all the costumes and furniture had to be put in temporary storage. This year, the construction work will be finished in summer, and all the costumes and furniture have to be brought to the new building, in which they need to be assorted. Additionally, there might be further final tasks in the new building (e.g. painting) in case they don t manage to finish that in advance.
🏠 Accommodation on site
