The first act finds the actors and the technicians planning for the performance. The second act shows the bebind the scenes work that goes on in a theatre, whîle Act three takes place in the make- up room after the play has finished. This unique insight takes a comedic look at the workings of the play-making process. The audience neyer sees the play that the actors are working on. Ail they are treated te is the dynamics that happen behind the scenes. According to Pat, '"anyone who has done anything in theatre can relate te the show." That dees flot mean that other audience memberswifl net appreciate the comedy of the production. It bas been dubbed a guide on "How te survive iniTheatre." Pat first approached'John Sheridan, drama teacher at St. Stephen's with an unfinished script of the play, and it seon bloomed inte its final stage.
