One of the activities the cast was hoping to do was to sit around a campfire and roast marshmallows together, so we worked a campfire night into dramaturgy week. We set up a speaker with river sounds to create the environment of sitting next to a fire on the bank of a river, and—though we had S’mores rather than bacon, apples and biscuits—it felt as though we were in a scene of the play and sitting around the fire after a long day on the river (it had been a long day in our rehearsal boats).

Did you know the average width of the Colorado River is the same distance as the length of a football field?
