Hey there, party people! 🎉 So, picture this: a group of theater folks in Vermont, right? They're just minding their own business, catching some Z's in their cozy theater digs, when BAM! Torrential rains and floods decide to crash the party. 🌧️ Like, who invited them? Not cool, Mother Nature. Not. Cool.

These poor theater peeps from the Weston Theater Company had to do a real-life "Noah's Ark" situation, except instead of animals, they were saving costumes, props, and their precious sanity. 🦒🦓 And I thought finding matching socks was a struggle! The flooding was so intense that their dressing rooms turned into swanky underwater suites, and the basement became a mud-wrestling arena. Talk about immersive theater!

But guess what? These theater heroes weren't about to let a little thing like a flood stop their show. 💃🕺 They pulled out their metaphorical floaties, found higher ground, and performed on a smaller stage. I mean, who needs a big, fancy playhouse when you can make a splash in a cozy, makeshift theater? 🎭 It's like Broadway, but with a touch of water ballet.

Now, let's talk about Vermont's weather track record. Apparently, the basement of this theater got its own little pool party during Tropical Storm Irene in 2011. And this time around, the floodwaters were like, "Hold my umbrella, Irene, we're going for a world record!" 🌊 Seriously, they were 2.5 feet higher. It's like the floods were training for the Olympics or something.

Can we all take a moment to give a virtual bear hug to Susanna Gellert, the company's executive artistic director? 🐻 She's been through the pandemic rollercoaster, and now she's dealing with a flood-induced water park. And let's not forget about the set, the instruments, and all those costumes that took an involuntary dip in the floodwaters. 🌊 They're like, "We signed up for drama, but this is a bit much!"

And hey, shoutout to the Weston Community Association for trying to keep the theater ship afloat. They're planning to make the playhouse flood-resistant, which is basically like giving it a theater-sized raincoat. 🌂 But can we all agree that "no view out to the beautiful river" sounds like a fancy way of saying, "Sorry, river, you're uninvited to the next theater party"?

But wait, the show went on! Despite the floods and the mess, these theater champs strutted their stuff at a different spot, and they're as resilient as a cockroach at a nuclear testing site. 💪 "The show must go on come rain, come shine," one of the actors declared. And I'm just here wondering why "come flood" wasn't included. Maybe next time, buddy!

So, there you have it, folks. A theater company that's braving floods, mud, and waterlogged costumes to bring a smile to our faces. 🎭 Let's raise a soggy hat to their determination and spirit. And if you ever find yourself in Vermont, remember to pack a snorkel, because you never know when the rivers might want to join the cast! 🏊‍♀️🌊Hey there, party people! 🎉 So, picture this: a group of theater folks in Vermont, right?
