Getting Close to the End!

Sandra Krempasky, Ballet Austin Sales Director, begins the setup of her office in the Joe R. Long and Teresa Lozano Long Grand Foyer.

More progress in the AustinVentures StudioTheatre. Note the lights on the floor awaiting installation.

The massive ceiling speakers in the AustinVentures StudioTheatre.

Banks of side lights are ready to be placed in the AustinVentures StudioTheatre.

Work continues in the Armstrong-Connelly Studio.

Just so the male dancers can see that they are getting equal treatment! The Martha and Cliff Ernst Ready Room is indeed, ready. Note the lockable drawers below the counter and the spiffy lockers which are reflected in the mirrors.

Soon, Stephen Mills will be sitting in this office.

Here is the view that will greet everyone who enters through the northside doors.

It is only appropriate that this section of the ribbon in the north entry is the first one inside the doorway. I have often wondered about whether Ballet Austin would exist if Barbara Carson had not come to Austin and needed a place to keep up her professional dancing skills. And it didn't hurt that her husband David was a seasoned executive who put together a lot of the fledgling company's administration. It means a lot that Barbara will be able to see the BDEC when it officially opens.
