PRODUCTION DESIGN & COSTUME DESIGN
live theater . modern . method . surreal
“...there is the added element of internalized dialogue being spoken, moments that feel surrealistic, where the world stops for a monologue that doesn’t seem to be happening in the real world, but rather in some ethereal realm. Driven by the need for change, but constantly stopped by the fear of it, these five all find themselves metaphorically trapped by their lives. The set, designed by Courtney Johnson, even includes a couple of wooden cages upstage that slightly resemble jail cells. Characters occasionally find their way to these cages where they reflect on their lives, where desire for freedom peeks out through the wooden slats of the cage.”
