Getting set up for tech last night. Yes, still a fair amount to be done, primarily finishing all the tile painting on the columns and painting the throne (not pictured), and the join between the green and central arches is awkward and will be covered by an additional ‘onion’. But it all looks suspiciously like the rendering. . .
This afternoon’s paint work — the other upstage masking flat for “Aladdin.” Here it is with the bulk of the color laid in. The interestingly shaped plywood leaning in the back are the beginning pieces for the throne.
And here is it at the end of the afternoon, finished.
And the Intro to Theatre students continue covering the arches with cheesecloth. Tomorrow they’ll get primed white.
Paint work from yesterday. These are two completed masking flats for the upcoming production of “Aladdin.” These two flats will be picked up and moved center for the street scenes. That’s one of our students off to the side speaking with TD Steve Chene about how they will fix the right hand flat, which was built more rhomboid than square. The blue pillar will get a diagonally sloping tile pattern.
A pause during today’s paint work. About halfway through laying in the colors.
In the shop. Student in the Intro to Theatre class are covering the arches with cheesecloth preparatory to painting.
End of day. Almost finished with this folding masking flat for offstage right. A little more line work, some shading on the trees, and then tomorrow it’s onto the final masking flat for stage left.

The set for “Spirits to Enforce” progresses. By the end of the afternoon, student scenic designer Keenan Minogue will have dealt with his floor treatment and be ready for first tech, this evening. Standing on stage at the table is student lighting designer Lexie Strullmyer, cutting gel for some of the set mounts.

Start of the shop day. Back of the set, and the front of the set — so far. That’s student scenic designer Keenan Minogue walking across the stage in the lower photo. Tech begins this week!
