Journey to the Center of the... Opera Roanoke Storage Closet: Part I



 Today at Opera Roanoke, I discovered an unexplored world full of dangers and adventure. I had no idea what to expect around each turn and corner. That's right, I'm talking about the storage closet... Dun Dun Dun! Alright, so it's not that exciting, but boy do I love to organize (really though).

I spent most of my day organizing files, boxes, programs, and vinyl records. I made shelf space for the accounting boxes, and transferred old vinyl recordings of some of the greats like Verdi’s La Traviata to Liz’s office for display. I’m still trying to find a way to make them look presentable. 

I wasn’t in the closet all day, though. I walked to a law firm at the Wells Fargo building to pick up some important documents. At 12:45pm we took a stroll to The Taubman Museum of Art for a “Parks and Arts 2014” meeting (#ParksArts2014). Opera Roanoke, Mill Mountain Theatre, and the museum had representatives present to discuss what each company would do (performances, workshops, crafts, etc.). I might add that Parks and Arts is an event over several Saturdays this summer. Local entertainment like Opera Roanoke, Southwest Virginia Ballet, Mill Mountain Theatre, and The Taubman Museum of Art will be giving workshops and performances in festival style setting. Once the meeting had adjourned, I went to Lunch with Liz.

Bach at the office (hehe), I resumed organizing, and at some point I had awesome cake made by Asherah—strawberry lemonade cake to be exact. Yes, it tastes as good as it sounds. Today’s findings were not as exciting as Wednesday’s, but I did find enough bubble wrap to make a dress. Oh, and also two bags and four boxes of a children’s activity to demonstrate vocal chords (and you bet your bottom I tried it out myself).

Look for more posts to come about my explorations through the storage closet (I'm only a third of the way finished!) because I know at this very moment you're just dying to read more about me organizing a closet. But don't worry, that's not ALL I'll be chatting about.

This has been your Administrative Apprentice (sounds fancy right?) from Opera Roanoke!

Until next time,
