The paint room is where we keep all the paint and the brushes. Please wash out your brushes and rollers when you’re done with them, so they stay happy and useable for the rest of the people working in PW. Please only wash out brushes in the slop sink in the paint room, and not in the sinks in the bathrooms. When you are done with the paints, please close them up and return them to the shelves on the walls. The shelves are color-coded, and some board-members really appreciate it if you coordinate the paint in the can with the shelf-color: It’s prettier, and also more organized. Do not leave paint cans scattered all around the room. If you finish a can, please rinse it out and stack it underneath the “Empty Paint Cans” sign on the wall. There is an air vent in the room (which is controlled by a switch to the right of the door). If you have open cans of paint, turn on the air vent.

The staff of every show has the option of painting a show mural on the wall of the paint room, with the suggested size of one square foot. Usually the director paints it, but they can assign another member of the show staff to do it if they’re uncomfortable with paint. Show murals are generally painted during the strike of the show, and finished while the director is waiting in line for tickets for the next show.
