Panel 1
Greg: So… I know I need to put this flat up, but how do I get it to stay in place?
Sarah: Well, we usually just use jacks.
Panel 2
Greg: ...which are?
Sarah: You know - just like, a board that we screw into the frame somewhere, and then we brace it to the floor or the wall and screw it in wherever we can. As long as you can’t see it from the audience, it’s fine.
Panel 3
Greg: Hold up… so I can just totally half-ass it, and as long as it works, it’s fine? It’s all just smoke and mirrors?
Sarah: ...yeah?
Panel 4
Greg: Clearly, I have missed my calling.
Liz: Greg, this is community theater - we don’t even HAVE smoke and mirrors, because both of those things are more expensive than 2x4’s.
