As their own kind of homage to the play currently showing at SJCT, Dan and Eileen Drath have “sculpted” a pile of stuff and then covered it with a blue tarp, on Cattle Point Road, just about 2/10 of a mile south of Madden Lane. Here’s the explanation in Eileen’s words…

Yep! We have a blue tarp. It arose after we saw One Blue Tarp, our having spent lots of time in rural Maine and having seen numerous yard sales over the years with rusty bedsteads and appliances and tarps, just like the play.

Last year I attended the reading of the play and this year we saw it last week. We were sitting at our kitchen table talking about the play when we simultaneously got the idea of our own blue tarp up in our woodshed and what we might have to put under it.

Dan has long been known (or suspected) for practical jokes and enjoyed arranging them for many, many years, probably including college or before. This makes us chuckle a lot.
