The first act alone took a year to complete. There was no fixed cast, no administrative support, no regular meeting place, and no funding. Running on pure enthusiasm, the group would snatch bits of free time not taken up by their day jobs to rehearse disconnected swatches of the work at river levees and basketball courts.
而且在沒有固定演出班底、也沒有行政支援、沒有場地、沒有經費的狀況下，所有演員只有趁著工作空檔，到河堤邊、籃球場上片片段段地排練。
