Designs & Interfaces / Theatre Design

TRYING - center
For the production of TRYING at Lamb's Players in Coronado, California.
Author Joanna McClelland Glass. Directed by Kerry Meads. Featuring Kelsey Venter and Doug Waldo.
Costume Design by Jemima Dutra. Lighting Design by Lila Lace Flores. Sound Design by Patrick Duffy. Stage Manager: Jennifer Hornsveld (love her!)

I was the Scenic Designer, Scenic Artist and Prop Master for this production.

Francis Biddle, former U. S. Attorney General and Chief Judge of the Nuremberg Trials, is trying in vain to finish his memoirs. A bright young girl from the prairie is brought in to help. Different backgrounds, different views of the world collide..but when the dust settles…they each discover a new respect for a different generation.

Challenges:
— The pit is 6 feet from deck to the pit base. I raised the stage to give more room for a set of stairs and the feeling of height (a hayloft converted into an office)
— LOTS of paper and lots of files!! Nothing is white. All paper is cream.
— Her side is lighter in appearance and brighter. His side is heavier in appearance and darker.
— Set in 1968
— Period, WORKING Typewriter and Dictaphone.
— So many books… so many...

Yow! Nice work on this one. The CAD and the model are quite nice as well, but the real thing has the gritty character.

Thanks so much for the comment.

The CAD is basically to give the director a semi-idea of what I'm thinking and a guide for me to be able to check the site lines in the theater. Our theater has some very tricky site line issues from the sides and I need to push the envelope as much as I can.

I make the model so the director can take it home and use it for her blocking/staging of the actors in the scenes.

I'm pleased with the overall outcome of the set. It really makes a nice backdrop for the actors to pop and do their thing!

Thanks again!
