For the production of THE GLASS MENAGERIE at Lamb's Players in Coronado. California.

I was the Properties Designer for this production. I found the glass figurines at a swap meet from a glass blower and ended up "staining" a few for color with glass paint. Made a Yearbook from the 20's; a vintage newspaper (one per performance) printed on newsprint from my 2 foot wide printer at home.

The hardest (most fun) part was carving a unicorn from a block of clear silicone rubber with a hot knife. Looked like glass and didn't slide off the stage. Just went thud sorta. :)

Scenic design: Mike Buckley

Did you have the screen door on the fire escape/ grating or did you leave it out? Very interesting set!!

Actually the actors always used the same area to enter and exit the apartment onto the "fire escape." The area is where the light comes up from the grate downstage right. They would head for that corner part of the grate - even to act to lean out to talk to someone outside.

The theater has 2 entrance voms which line up with those downstage angles. The stage left vom was used as an entrance from the street onto the fire escape, the actor would then walk to the "door" across the downstage grating. The stage right vom was never used.

Hope that helps with visualizing the show.

Very nice. I like the texture, is it on the flats? or is it projected over the set? Also, those grates at the front... are they part of the set or part of the theatre?

The grating represents the fire escape that Tom goes out and smokes on. There is a 5 foot tall pit under the deck so the grates were build specifically for this show and lit from underneath.

Yick... our theater doesn't have a pit at all. T_T Half the stuff on here would be impossible. We're doing On the Verge right now, and it's proving difficult.
