Good morning.
The Ohio University theater department is in need of your help.
The department needs to borrow a chiminea — a small, free-standing fireplace — for a production, according to a post on Reddit. They’ll need it for about a month starting in early February.
If you’re concerned whether your chiminea will become too dirty, fear not. The poster ensured that the theater department “would be happy to give it a thorough cleaning in exchange for lending it to (them).”
Transportation for the chiminea will also be provided.
