Build’n’Share Challenge #37The Play Is The ThingMusic played cheerfully in the background. Uniformed caterers maneuvered through the well dressed crowd, offering drinks and canapés. And in the background, the beauty of antiques and the luxury of high quality décor. You know this for a fact, since you're the one who designed, built and furnished the apartment. As you move amongst the other guests, you hear many gratifying compliments.
"Everyone loves the work you've done here," says a deep masculine voice to your left. You turn and smile at the owner of the apartment, Douglas Curtis the third. Adventurer, architect, and egotist.
"Thank you," You say with a smile, preparing yourself for some grandstanding. "How was your most recent trip abroad?"
"Wonderful! In fact, being abroad gave me an idea that I wanted to talk to you about." He takes your arm and guides you outside to talk about it without being overheard. He looks around conspiratorially and smiles, "I don't want anyone to hear what I'm about to suggest."
"I wont say anything," You assure him.
"I know I can count on you." He takes a long drink from his glass, "I was in France recently, and while I was there I attended a play. Good one too. Ghosts, revenge, violence and all that. But I was really impressed with the playhouse. It was in a historic playhouse. Balconies, fancy wall decorations, etc. It occurred to me that my home town didn't have something like that. So that's what I want you to do. Set it up so there can be shows and plays and concerts in a historic, fancy type of play house so we get some good acts in. And of course, with spots to display some of my larger finds."
You tilt your head, "That sounds...great! Whats my budget?"
"Hows 175K? Will that work?"
"Should be fine. Two Weeks?" You suggest, already making notes in your head.
"Fabulous!" He says with his usual boisterousness. "Now that business is out of the way, how is that darling Rose?"
"Ah...you know, I should probably go...get started...."
