First Production Meeting

The entire crew convened for the first time this week to review designs that were created over the summer and dig into the technical and production aspects of the show, including props, stage management, sound, etc.  Will Tedrow is responsible for this set design, which features a giant wall made of strips of silk onto which will be projected a variety of artistic and historic images to complement the text.

Here, the stage managers and sound designer review costume renderings by designer Emily McQuarrie. She drew her inspiration from French Surrealist designer and fashion icon Elsa Schiaparelli, as well as from Parisian fashions of the 1930s and '40s.

They say it takes a village to raise a child; likewise, it takes a theatre village to stage a show. I feel so fortunate to be working with the UI theatre community.
