Sets in 2017, for the Young Performers Theater (at Odess Theater, Allen Memorial Hall) and the Sitka Fine Arts Camp Musical Theater Camp at Sitka’s Performing Arts Center, and for Sitka Community Theater, also at the Performing Arts Center.

Alice In Wonderland, Young Performers Theater, Fall 2017

The Wall, the House, the Roses and the Mushroom come off the backdrop to cover the front of a small platform. When they are removed, they reveal sections of text from the book.

A minimal set for the fall play! Inspired by the original drawings for *Alice In Wonderland* by John Tenniel, as translated by the Dalziel Brothers into wood engraving illustrations.

Sense and Sensibility, Sitka Community Theater, Spring 2017

Another minimal design, from Spring 2017 for the Sitka Community Theater’s production of Kate Hamill’s Sense and Sensibility. The entire set – tables, chairs, walls, doorways and windows – was on casters, stealing from the original staging. Fun, and some engineering.

Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Sitka Fine Arts Camp Musical Theater Camp, 2017

This one I just contributed a few elements: the crow’s nest (fully functional!) and a statue of Prince Eric – modeled on the production’s Prince Eric. Did I capture a resemblance?

What a wonderful production! As you can see the costumes and performances were just wonderful . . . Under the Sea! Photographs by Clarice Johnson, except the one of me with that heavy statue, by Tracy Turner.
