First Stage Completed at My Other House

By James_Brown - Posted on 19 November 2008

Alex and Zak Abati-Brown and Jose Amateco place the last tile in the new stage at My Other House.Really, a real stage! Members of Teen Dream Team recently laid the foundation for the stage at My Other House. The stage is actually a section of computer flooring that, once carpeted, creates an 18’ by 10’ stage where a variety of performances can take place. Through My Other House we are hoping to offer the youth several creative outlets. Music, poetry or drama performances can take place on the stage. Bruce and James at Rez House have plans to add some lighting so that it will feel like a real performance space. While the renovations are not yet complete, our youth are already making use of the new building, holding separate meetings for the boys and the girls on Wednesday evenings. We are still looking for video game systems and large televisions. The TV’s don’t have to be new, just in good condition as they will only be used with the games systems and not for regular television viewing.

Also on our wish list:

Drywall to complete the bathroom.
Floor Tile – 2,000 square feet.
A new roof - we would like to replace the low ceiling with a cathedral ceiling.
