Little did we suspect back in the middle of March that we'd be in for a lengthy separation from our wonderful volunteers. Eerily enough, the last show before shutdown played on Friday the 13th which proved to be unlucky indeed. Since then our foyer has been still and silent, and there are no welcoming sentinels standing at the theatre doors ready to greet patrons and guide them to their seats. Neither are there smiling bar personnel, serving up a coffee or a wine before the show. We don't need reminding that our volunteers are part of the life blood of the MEC, providing dedicated and valuable service to us and the theatre going public.
