The entire theatre, including the stage, is elevated about four feet above the pool floor by a system of wooden beams (I peeked under a trap door); this hollow, thin stage helped four slim girls with tap shoes register a 6.0 on the Richter scale in the first scene.

...underlining, a lot of chicken-scratching, and a lot of swiveling. The proctors checked our identification several times throughout the four-and-a-little hours we spent in the slightly chilly room. I filled in at least 125 bubbles--completely, leaving no stray marks. I didn't bend, fold, spindle or mutilate the answer sheet.
