| The Park play rehearsing in the gym at Howard Street Middle School. |
 |
| Performing in the Bush Park. A new acquaintance designed and made the costumes. She is amazing! |
 |
| Kids and volunteer parents made the crazy flowers we hung on the back. |
 |
| The park stage was a little smaller than we thought, but the set adapted easily. |
 |
| The tree I made worked out great. It was sure funny to see the giraffe “peak” over the top. |
 |
| This show really was a joy to work on. |
 |
| It performed in the park July 20-22. |
 |
| Hannah and my friend, Megan did most of the painting for me. |
 |
| All this was accomplished in 3 and half weeks. |
 |
| At the beginning of week 5 my second design hit the stage. This particular piece had flaps that created three different looks: the Candy House, a tree in the forest… |
 |
| … and a Veggie house. I had a parent that didn’t speak English well and didn’t have many skills ask to help. He sat and made millions of little peas as the siding of that house. |
 |
| My friend Michelle made beautiful flowers across the back drop. |
 |
| I tried to get this one to pop up like a pop up book. I wasn’t very successful because the cardboard was to heavy. Still, anything lighter couldn’t handle the pressure. Oh well. At least I tried. |
 |
| This show performed at the Salem Public Library from July 24-26 and then moved to the Broadway coffee house for a performance on July 27. |
 |
| The library had 10 flats. We could only use 4 at the coffee house. |
 |
| The library was hard because the lighting is bad. They use Par cans and wouldn’t let me refocus nor re-gel them. |
 |
| I finished my final design on July 24… 4 and half weeks after I started. Music Man Jr performed July 26-27 on South Salem High School Stage. |
 |
| There is very little wing space on this stage. I had to use reversible wagons to create a train look… |
 |
| … and the town look. |
 |
| I used a pivot plate to transform a house for Marian the Liberian from inside to… |
 |
| her porch. |
 |
| Once again, the space had poor lighting abilities. I am spoiled at Central when I get to play there. |
 |
| My favorite piece on this set was the Candy Shop. I successfully painted a window with a candy display that Lillian said looked real. 🙂 some people are easily impressed. |
