"Illyria" for Playhouse Conservatory 2011

This is the musical adaptation of "12th Night".  Right after this musical would close would be a production of the play "12th Night".  New director and cast.  New Costume Designer and Lighting Designer who was a student I was mentoring.   Scott Wise, the director, gave the design team a tremendous amount of freedom on this show.  There were a few minor challenges.  The set would have minor changes but immediately be a "12th Night" production.  While the box set for his production was straight forward the director for "Illyria" wanted an element of danger/mystery to the design.  That danger came in way of the box set "tilting" in on itself.  Can you say "hello sidelight"?  In the end with the challenges it was a sweet little production.  We used Vari-Lights as the follow spots.  It was a very intensive situation in terms of cuing and keeping this young cast to be consistent. The orchestra was up center in the opening.  Some of these pictures are not from final dress.  The orchestra was in costume.
