Scenic & Lighting Design
This was one of my earliest theatrical designs. It was a privilege to be invited to this project and bring the book to life on the stage. The following illustrates the process of creation:
- Read the script (still in rough version adapted from the book)
- Ideate with the Producer and Director
- Research Italian restaurants
- Sketch concepts
- Development and refinement
- Scale drawings
- Texture, paint, functionals, decor
- Custom table design tilted downstage slightly for audience
- Lighting Design
- Additions of floor and pillar
- Sign off on build process and finishing details like paint, texture, stain, electrical, etc.
- Transportation entire set has to transport in trailer, fit through standard doors, and setup/strike quickly for multiple venues
- Oversee setup and lighting focus
- Program lighting
