Design Presentations and First Rehearsal

There is something truly energizing about a first meeting after summer break, and that paired with the first meeting of a new show, made for a room full of excited energy. The evening began with design presentations, as the designers showed us all they had been working on, walking us through their process and giving time for any questions there may be about what we were seeing. Director, C.J., described the space as an, "ordered, urban, lovely, simple, elegant apartment." This could be reflected in the set design, lighting, and costuming. However, she continued, "Sylvia comes and changes that," and seeing the visual transition was truly exhilarating. Once we had seen the visual world, C.J. and the actors got to work on their first rehearsal. Following are some pictures from these meetings. More specific design pictures will be added to this blog in a later post.
