Stephanie King '14 - Technical Director/Set Designer

It's always a challenge to recreate an outside space indoors.  Building a beach for this show was a long process, despite its structural simplicity.  The structure of the set - pre-decoration - is shown on the left.  
The biggest challenge was weathering the lumber to create a sea salt and wind worn look.  Treating the material was a 5 step process including multiple stains, paint, polyearthane glaze, and sanding the surface to create wear.  

We were able to get some old wood  - a telephone pole taken down after a storm - and used it to create a collection of wooden  collumns emerging from the ocean.  

Check back later to see an image of the fully decorated set!
