A trip to remember: Metsäpirtti 2018

Just a few weeks before the premier of the Spring production, a small group of ethousiastic people decided to escape for a few days and enjoy nature, quiet and calmness. This year the weather was sunny, but still very cold. This meant the Dimitra Spyratou by Dimitra Spyratou- Thespians Anonymous 2015goers to the traditional sauna had the opportunity to jump into the lake through a hole carved into the ice. And we got to take beautiful pictures of their ‘suffering’ experience. We laughed, played games, ate pizza, and grilled out (not all at the same time). Hopefully we’ll have even more people going next year!

'It was my first time doing the avanto ice water dip and enjoying it all the more because we had to break the hole in the ice ourselves!'
