Starting from a cube-shaped cigar box, we decided that the shape and mechanism lent itself to being produced as a theatre-in-a-box. This is still an ongoing project, since several members have enjoyed the process so much that they are producing additional theatres. They are all made to the same basic size specification so that ultimately they will fit together for presentation purposes.
