If you attend on the weekends, you have probably noticed that the set behind the stage changes every few months. Trying to create a large (seriously, that stage is huge, y’all!) and budget-friendly set that doesn’t break our backs in the making of it is not always easy, but we have a solid team of staff and volunteers that works to make the magic happen.
Here are some photos of some of the sets you might remember from the last two years or so…and a little into the secrets of how we made them:
Spring 2018
Materials: soooooo many wood strips, white paint, string, staples, the help from many patient humans
Winter 2017-2018
Materials: chicken wire painted black, cotton balls, and a vacuum cleaner (yeah, we still haven’t gotten all the wisps off the stage floor yet…)
Fall 2017
Materials: White coroplast sheets, steel studs, drywall screws, a knife, patience
Summer 2017
Materials: super long white fabric we found backstage
Spring 2017
Materials: the versatile 2 ft by 2 ft cardboard boxes (oh yeah, they’ll be back) and folded card-stock for the side walls
Fall and Winter 2016
Materials: wood from Fall 2015 set cut in strips, staples, black string, Edison bulbs, black scrim fabric
Summer 2016 (sadly, couldn’t find a picture of this one)
Materials: the longest screen door material we could find, a willingness to scrunch up screen door material and have tin man silver hands for the rest of the day
Spring 2016
Materials: pvc pipe, black string, coroplast, plywood painted black, par can lights
Winter 2015-2016
Materials: randomly cut strips of wood, white fabric, staples, fishing wire
Late Fall 2015
Materials: our favorite 2 ft by 2 ft boxes, packing tape, the illusion of lighting
Early Fall 2015
Materials: leftover wood from Gathering Area remodel, string
