This week, I'd like to share the reader's introduction to Stephanie's workplace
She was Conrad
Finch’s assistant and her job consisted of answering phones and e-mail, sorting
the bills, and bringing Conrad soy vanilla lattes from Starbucks like the one
she was trying not to spill as she walked.
That
is not to say that Stephanie didn’t love the Rialto. It was the oldest theater
in the Capitol district, though like the rest of the city of Schenectady, it was
struggling to make a comeback. Conrad Finch was nothing if not passionate about
making this happen and Stephanie was proud he’d chosen her to help him. Conrad
had a strong vision of someday, when the theater would attract name acts and
Broadway road revivals. They would host a regional theater group and maybe they
would even show the Metropolitan Opera live on screen as they had in a similar theater
in New England last year.
Stephanie
could almost see it. Though today, with the cold March wind sweeping stray
paper to the curb in front of the marquee, the place looked downright shabby, like
a garish old woman who had insisted on one too many face lifts.
