The Spring musical for this year
was Urinetown, it’s a crazy premise of comedy with a bit. The set of this play was a fun one to build;
we have multiple walls that we have flying in to create different scenes, just
with one big set. It contrasts the way
that the painting has been done to both sides of this set. On one side you have
all the scenes with the poor, they have a backdrop that follows their costumes,
it’s dirty, everywhere. We created this with lots of sponging of the tin sheeting
to rust it and darker grays to age the steel posts that were the structure of
this set. Another aspect added to make a
more darker place is the hazers used to make the place seem smoggy and even
more dirty.
The contrast was the rich with the
bright colors you were supposed to think of a bright place unlike were you just
were with the poor; you have a very colorful place, which speaks of cleanness
and people who have privilege to have money. There costumes are clean and give of
the office with how they are all the same in the rich but the named characters.
We used splatter painting to add color to the bright green to mellow it down a
little but the colors of the rich were supposed to be like from a false reality.
To add to this lighting is brighter while in any other scene you see darker shades
of light.
This show has been in the works for
a long time now and today we open. So you reading this should come and enjoy
the show for it is a great one. The actors have worked very hard to get this
play were it is learning chorography and music. Backstage we have been building
what is a backdrop for their talents bring it all to life. So sit back and enjoy the show, but be sure to
avoid the restrooms, they may make you pay to pee.
I included this link so that you
could compare a different set to ours.
