John M Krafft asked: "could it [the statue] see itself turned orange by the sun?"

That's one of two pesky details that I had trouble meshing with my suggestion of the statue pov.

I made peace with this detail the same way that Mark Kohut did; in Mark's words: "if the statue pov is speaking in the third person, ala Adams, it would
 speak of the sun on it as it does noticing it on the carpet and part of
 itself."

Try it this way: replace "the statue" with "me" in the text. Then that detail isn't so problematic sounding.

The second pesky detail is: How does the statue know the placement of the corridor and boxes within the theater (i.e., upper level, audience right, stage end on the west side)?
