Sweeney Todd

Posted in General Production, Scenic Design, Scenic Painting on February 5th, 2016 by Eric Appleton

Forging ahead on “Sweeney Todd.” At the start of yesterday, here’s the selection of covered and primed flats awaiting further painting:

So my first task of the day was to finish what I’d started the day before, only., doing it in the scene shop since class was happening in the Hicklin:

During actual shop hours, lots of work for everyone. Here are two students pasting down muslin on the edges of the wagon walls. I haven’t seen these two before, so I suspect they’re cast members from the music department doing their production hours:

Here are two more suspected cast members measuring out framing pieces for flats:

Here they are, working with Alex, on the flat itself:

Braden (TA) and Brent (Intro student) work on framing another flat, while Lilliana (TA) is off to the side helping to feed lumber through the table saw:

And a better shot of Alex and Lilliana working together to rip down some lumber:

Back in the Hicklin, Allison does a little pasting down of muslin before priming a wagon flat:

While I drive another flat forward to painted completion:

And as flats get finished, up they go on the stage:

I think that blur is another Allison, on of the Intro students. . .
