New Discoveries at Every Turn!

2/12/2014

While waiting for other things to get started (mostly electrical), I figured we could tackle the carpet removal. My plan was to install wood panels (crude, rudimentary panels for painting the performance area). Once we started removing the carpet on Feb 10, we realized there was a terrazzo floor underneath. After removing carpet from half the room, a bit of elbow grease helped us to remove quite a bit of the sticky residue to see the shine of the original flooring. I don't think we'll be laying down wood floor anytime soon.

The theatre folks will have to work around a beautiful terrazzo floor! -Erico

Erico Ortiz

Erico Ortiz was born in Cayey, Puerto Rico and was raised in Milwaukee. He earned his undergraduate degree at Marquette University (Spanish Education) and a Masters Degree from UW-Milwaukee (Administrative Leadership). After working for Milwaukee Public Schools (teacher, administrator) for 33 years, it was time for retirement and a new direction.
Erico has worked with several community theatre companies, both on stage and behind the scenes, something he still enjoys today, and is a board member of the Village Playhouse. He plays guitar and can be found Sunday mornings directing the Spanish choir at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Parish in Milwaukee.
Painting has become a passion since retirement in 2011, leading to the development of Erico's Gallery. Since then, he has delved into the arts world by becoming involved with Riverwest Artists Association and the Sheboygan Visual Artists. This latest venture, the purchase of an art gallery and performance space should prove to be exciting.
