Behind the Scenes
Making sure the show goes without a hitch is the biggest part of Rufus’s job at the Country Bear Playhouse. Time and time again, Rufus is called upon to work his special “behind-the-scenes” magic so that everyone gets what they need when they need it. Falling asleep during the show is a daily occurrence, but after seeing the same show over 10,000 times—counting rehearsals—you are entitled to the occasional nap. Luckily, Rufus is a light sleeper—and a VERY heavy walker—and only misses a cue once in a great while. Since the installation of an Internet-capable computer in the tech booth, it became easier for Rufus to stay awake during the show.
