Wakefield theatre

Virginia · USA · Theatre

The theatre at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia has a set of instructions attached to it, which is unusual in itself.

Sit in the balcony seats alone, with nobody else in the theatre, and you hear a piano being played, even with the piano in plain sight and nobody near it.

Two spotlights come up on the stage.

If you keep watching, the accounts continue.

The balcony condition is worth noting. Almost every report from this room comes from someone sitting high at the back, looking down at a lit stage in an otherwise dark hall, which is the most suggestive vantage point a theatre offers and also the loneliest.

Stage lighting boards hold their last state and can be brought up by a fault, and school pianos are frequently in rooms that share a wall with a practice space.

The school is in use and the theatre is used by the community as well as by pupils.
