Prop Design and Scenic Portfolio
This section displays designs from productions that I have majorly contributed to as a designer or as a part of the scenic shop as well as examples of relevant class work.
Alabaster, a play by Audrey Cefaly
I served as the prop designer and set decorator for this student led production.
Sunnyview Elementary Art Show, a play
I served as the prop designer for the staged reading of this new work.
The Cake
A main stage show about a small town bakery and morals and religion in the southern United States
Cakes were made of foam, spackle, paint, and other craft supplies
Along with the cakes that were required for the plot of the show, some cakes were themed after previous shows put on by the department
Scenic Painting class projects
The scenic painting class teaches students various techniques such as spatter, splatter, gradation, sponging, line work, etc. that are the basis of all scenic painting jobs. The course work culminates in a final project where students create a “film prop”.
Puppetry class projects
The puppetry class teaches students an overview of the history of puppetry around the world while teaching basic building techniques for various styles of puppet. In the second half of the semester, students focused on the 'muppet' style puppets, creating their own from a Monkey Boys puppet kit and learning to bring them to life with the help of professional puppeteer and original Avenue Q cast member, Rick Lyon. The final project of the class was a theatre for youth puppetry production written and directed by the students.
