Clybourne Park and The Tender Land

Construction continues on the upcoming UW-Whitewater’s production of “Clybourne Park.” In the shop, TA Quinn assigns some of his fellow students their tasks.

While in the Barnett, TA Thad considers his work on the escape stairs.

Down in the costume shop, Amber works on the doll. . .

. . . while costume designer and costume shop supervisor Tracey Lyons advises Leann (hidden behind the dressmaker’s form) on how to build a pregnancy pad for use in rehearsals.

Amber also built a mini-Nate puppet, which is now hanging proudly in the shop.

This is a little on the old news side, but down in the theatre corridor, the bulletin boards are filling up with work from the Introduction to Theatrical Design course. On one side, we see the students’ first attempt at a model, their quick and dirty presentations of the short play “Return of the Living.”

On the other side, we see their boards for their costume design final projects. They worked on either “Jeffrey” or “Rashomon.” Strangely enough, no one picked Shaw’s “Getting Married.”

Here are some students hard at work in the design room. It looks like Kat’s doing something for either Intro to Design or Make

Finally, the groundplan for “The Tender Land” nears completion on my drafting table.
