Below are her groundplan and an elevation of the Sketchup model:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/5VkgnI7\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/5VkgnI7.jpg?1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><figcaption><br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/bm9gMCA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/bm9gMCA.jpg?1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Megan has chosen to draft in AutoCAD, which means she&#8217;s been working with our TD, Ruth, on learning that program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the shop, platforms are getting legged up.  Here&#8217;s Intro student Savannah working with KG:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/QDt2may\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/QDt2may.jpg?1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And then Megan herself framing up a triangular platform:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/lXOHArh\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/lXOHArh.jpg?1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I get to spend some time in my office working on &#8220;The Addams Family Musical.&#8221;   We&#8217;ve discussed the option of having the orchestra on stage, but since there&#8217;s a lot of percussion (as well as 16-18 musicians) it looks like they&#8217;ll have to be in the pit;  this means we lose the option of having a stairway into the trap room.  Ah well.  We also toyed with the idea of smart caster rotating wagons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/EofkzWj\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/EofkzWj.jpg?1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But Bruce Cohen, the director, decided he wasn&#8217;t too keen on that and wished to go back to platformed levels.  In Intro to Design the other day, one of the students brought up periaktoi as a method to alter a stage environment.  Today I thought, hey, periaktoi!  We get some movement, we can shift from interior to exterior to park to graveyard with relative simplicity. . . so I worked up a version with platforming and periaktoi:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/JpK8sd5\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/JpK8sd5.jpg?1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I ran it past Bruce and our choreographer, Piper, and they both said to run with it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Onward!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Resort 76&#8221; had a successful run; two high school matinees as well as an extra weekend matinee brought us three more performances than our normal schedule does.
