There is a lot of iron fencing on the set. This is the piece that Tybalt gets impaled upon.

Further progress on my stained glass project. At the end of the afternoon I had one side done. Now I have to flip them over, lead that side, wait for that to cure, and then see if I need to add texture and color to make sure it doesn’t look like plexiglass colored on one side.

In Hicklin, facing continues. . .

As well as adding a small platformed area so Juliet doesn’t plunge into the void as she’s silhouetted against the stained glass.

Finally, Jayson rises from the dead.

Oh wait, there’s more — we’ve started in on the summer’s shows. Here are my first doodles for “Muskie Love.”

Further progress on my project. The first piece of stained glass is filled in on one side, and the second piece is fully leaded on one side.

In the Hicklin, Molly and Thad continue working on facing.

Tomorrow afternoon, the bottom of one unit should be completely faced, at which point we will pop it off and I will begin painting it.

“Romeo and Juliet” continues as “Dancescapes” goes into technical rehearsals. This is my current afternoon project; creating the two stained glass pieces. Above, I’m in the process of laying the first one out. . .

. . . and here it is, further along, with some of the leading applied. Once the leading is completed,I’ll fill in the glass, then flip it over and apply leading to the backside as well, since it will be seen from both sides as the unit rotates.

Meanwhile, in the Hicklin, TA Thad sizes facing on the units. There was a mishap — our TD bought out all the brick paneling from one Menard’s, and when he went to a second one, he grabbed what he thought was brick — just tan brick as opposed to red brick (we’re painting it all anyway, so color didn’t matter). Turns out he grabbed feildstone, rather than brick. Looks like the units will have some fieldstone sections and some brick sections. . .
