Seeking set / prop guru to assist with December production
Wed, 21 Oct 2009, 09:40 pmYes folks. Like many in our community, the 'in sane' are now in rehearsal for our final production of the year (The Karaoke Twist Christmas Special). We have the cast, we have the man who can maketh groovy sounds, what we don't have, is a set /prop designer. (PS: we don't have a lighting man either, but we'll deal with that seperately.
I'd like to think I have the tools for the job, but as my tool box consists of a hammer and four rusty nails, I somehow don't think I'll be scoring the gig. So! We need one o' those clever folk who do those wonderful sets you see around evry production but ours, to offer some advice on where to start. We're thinking big! We're thinking Mega Bunning stores..what's that? Oh right. the accountant has just told me the news about my tax return, so forget mega bunnings, we're probably gonna run with more your Mini-Hardware-mart
what have you got to deal with? Fourteen scenes, from coffees shop, to lounge setting, to different lounge setting, to the shops, and back to the coffee shop, and then the lounge setting, and then the garden, and then the beach, and then fishing by the river, and then back to the shops again. Bloody hell! Who wrote this? This is a train wreck about to happen! Thanks for the worfds of encouragement Walter.
As you can see, the jobs a piece of cake. If you'd like to assist, even from afar, we'd love to talk endless possibilities with yer!

Thu, 22 Oct 2009, 11:15 amIf this is at Phoenix? Utalise the OP & PS aprons, as seperate satelite stages. This could take care of your coffee shop & lounges, with the main apron for the fishing jetty. Using the cyc to depict the beach & tab track in a back drop for the garden. Or use the tab track as a traveler depicting shops. The cyc could even double for the garden, also use a profiled tree boarder or legs as a garden portal. Multi set it would be as simple as bioling water in a paper bag, without not much swet only slight perspiration.
With the tab track you could also set up [periaktoi] medici flats using jogger flats which could be tracked in, then be worked & turned to suit. Which could be done at other venues of course!
