Set+Design

The set for Marisol is very interesting and will be a challenge. The Play will be preformed in a medium theater. The play will be preformed at the Temecula Play House. [|Temecula Play House Tour].

My ideas for the set are taken from others who have already created it. I have compiled pics that have taken different elements form each to make my own set.

I wanted to show a set that is very artistic and simple. This picture is of the subway scene. Light streams by to give the affect that they are in a subway. The sounds of the subway come in and out. The set is simple and unique. I wanted the ladder in all of the pictures and the crown.

Once the subway scene is over the bench is taken down behind and the center stone is a bed. Blankets and a pillow are keep behind and are pulled up to the stage at any moment. Lights stream across the ceiling and are easily visible to the audience. Transparencies is a must and I want the stage to look run down and thrown together at the last second. This is to give the appearance that seen represents a city completely torn apart and about to crumble. In the first act the stage is lit by white lights that are positioned in front of the actors. Faces are shown bright and easy to see. The crown is hanging throughout all of the scenes and the ladder is off to the side. The scenes are a little brighter that act two.

In the second act the lights or a shade of orange and is back lighting the stage to show dark and cold faces. I want to audiance to really see the difference between the two acts and feel dark and dirty. The second act should be alienating.

This is the picture with the ladder and crown are pasted in.

Both the ladder and the crown are going to be on stage at all times. Ladder is old and wooden.
