Kaycee Bernier has been our effervescent bar manager since we first popped up the spiegeltent and created Teatro ZinZanni back in 1998. Here Kaycee remembers the early days …
“The first wine room we ever had was a closet, the size of a normal coat closet with ten different wines, four different beers and no hard alcohol. The overstock we needed, as we were selling out every few days, was stored in a shed that was built right up against the lobby wall, where the tiny little bar was located in our very narrow lobby (which was really a trailer).
“In order to get wine and beer bottles into the bar without walking outside and through the lobby, we had a dog-door sized hole put in the wall. Someone would go outside in the rain, get what we needed and then pulled it through the hatch. There were a few times where I had to climb in and out of that little hole when I was working all by myself…
“That’s when I realize how long ago all that was. To do that today, they would have to put me in the show as a contortion act!!!
