Hi people, A lad in sane productions forthcoming production at the Phoenix Theatre is not too far way. June 24th opening to be exact. At this point in time, we don't have a stage Manager, set designer, prop builders,set painters...in fact, we're still 3 short of cast members. Not to worry! Buddha will provide, or so my 'lettuce and spiced omelette' friend assures me. Now call me cynical, but being my letters to Santa, and Buddha are coming back with a 'No longer at this address' stamp, I thought it best, not to wait and see if Buddha does in fact provide. Rather, I'd best go off and seek...and so here I am seeking...even just your advice would be appreciated. This gig may prove enticing to those of you who like a challenge, the main challenge is we have to create a set within a very short lead time. How short? Think of 'Dopey' or Sneezy' and you'd be close. What are we creating? A TV studio...that changes to a lounge room, and then back to a studio, and then an Irish pub..see, easy....well it would be easy if I found making sets as easy as writing frivolous plays with no essential meaning. On a serious note, anyone who'd be kind enough to offer input, props (I can supply a list), we'd be most grateful, we'll even reward you with tickets to the show, so you can admire your handiwork. cheers

I have no idea about your production &/or what area space that the script dictates. 

However if you utilise the OP & PS apron stages,  then with a Tab track/drapes at half stage, this would give 2 main acting areas on stage & 2 satellites apron spaces.
