Setting Sail
















Our set designer Shannon Clark has created a wonderful space for the actors to play!

The set is being constructed offsite and will be assembled during tech week at Koka Booth.

You will notice in the model some triangular shapes framing the stage...these are 35 foot tall SAILS.

These serve two purposes --they create the imagery of seaside town (and pick up elements of the existing structure of Koka Booth) and help focus the playing space (Koka Booth's stage is HUGE).

Okay, they actually serve three purposes -- they provide our talented lighting designer, Johsua Reaves, a surface to light and create different moods.

Oh...there is a fourth and purely technical function -- they provide us much needed masking for entrances and exits.

I can't wait to see them hanging from the rails in the theatre!
