His job was important: to make sure the curtain was opened or closed, or opened fast after closing. That was not easy. His resume was exemplary. He had dealt with all sorts of curtains, going from top to bottom, the metal ones, left to right, right to left (he worked for a prison for a while), and middle of the stage out, to name just a few. He could handle double courtains: the tulle ones - showing the shadow, followed by the red wine plush - big warm and heavy ones. There were also those used for changing the set, while the audience was still in chairs, waiting impatiently for a new setup. There were many ways a curtain could be opened: mechanically or by hand, and both. Those mechanical ways involved buttons, wireless communication, and pullups. The hand method was based on working with a long stick ended with a big hook designed to pick up a metal circle attached to the top of a curtain. This method is still used in small theaters, comedy houses, cabarets and live action houses. Jeremiah has done it all, ebven in performances where actors would use their bodies, previously painted, decorated, and embelished by the make-up artists, in order to create live pictures based on famous masterpieces. He've seen it all, knew all types of actors' behaviour, from hysteria, drama, to joy of success. His job required physical strength and softness of the heart. After all, he was one of them, so close to the entrance on the stage.
