More Adventures in Set Design
I've just submitted the construction drawings for the two shows I'm designing now, and it looks like neither of them are coming back with any major revisions!
This is the one I'm most excited about, the Frank Lloyd Wright inspired set for "Neil Simon's Rumors" at the Hapgood Theatre in Antioch;
The plan here is to cast a ba-jillion sculptural "textile block" tiles in papier mache and cover most, if not all of the set walls with them. I've already made the master tile:
Now I have to pull multiple molds off of it and see how fast I convince the papier mache to dry. The show opens January 2nd, so the clock is ticking. What a lovely time for a cold snap...
The other set I'm working on is for "Something's Afoot" at the Pinole Playhouse, in the same space where we did "Little Shop of Horrors";
This one opens on January 18th and is about a third the size as "Rumors", so there's a lot less pressure here.
I'll post photos as construction begins!

DUDE!!!
WOW!!!
Freakin' awesome!!!
*oozes admiration for your mad skillz*
Nice work!
I am entertained by the implications of the doors on the staging of the plays themselves. Particularly so that the "running in and out of doors almost seeing each other but not quite"-ness of a show like "Something's Afoot" calls for fewer doors than a Neil Simon play. :)
Heh. That can be deceiving. First, "Something's Afoot" is generally performed in a much larger space, so it calls for more doors than they can have. Second, "Rumors" isn't your typical Neil Simon. It's a broad farce that is also packed with a lot of running in and out of doors not seeing each other. Lastly, two of the doors in the "Rumors" set are false. One is pure set dressing, the other is only used when someone speaks from the other side of it!
