Nancy, Spencer and Sura are getting the job done at the new Dobama space at the Lee Road Library.

Life upon the stage may seem glamorous, but life behind the curtain is not always so glitzy.

In fact, these volunteers spent time over the weekend of November 15-16 readying Dobama Theater’s newly completed office space in the Heights Library’s Activity Center. Grabbing paint brushes, left to right, are Library Director Nancy Levin and Dobama Board members Spencer Caress and Sura Stevastopolous. Also painting, but not pictured, were Dobama Board President Bill Newby and his wife, Barbara, and Dianne Boduszek, managing director of the theater.

The change from ‘naked’ drywall to ‘dressed’ office walls is amazing. Dobama expects to take residency in its office space by mid-December and to begin performances in its new space in the fall of 2009.
