Theoretical Works

A Doll's House Fall 2024

Design Concept:

 For this play, I want to design the set and lighting in a vignette style set that reflects a dollhouse in its structure. That way (in theory) as we go through the scenes of the play, we transition through scenes like in a doll house. (Gilded Age)​

 

"A Dolls' House" is a three act play that portrays the lived of middle-class Norwegians in the 1870's written by Henrik Ibsen. The Story follows Nora Helmer, a housewife who realizes she's been living a farce to meet societal expectations. Its based on the life of Ibsen's family friend Laura Keiler.​​​

Streetcar Named Desire Fall 2022

Design Concept:

 In A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams we see the struggle of acceptance and society’s view on heinous acts. Like a true tragedy, no one gets what they truly desire in the play. In the end of this production, tragedy’s ghost makes its appearance as blanche for one final sonnet.

The design for this production of Streetcar Named Desire is going to be a modern take majorly based in color theory. The plan for the costume design is a modern, non-specific period setting that focuses more on color theory and the reversal of feminine and masculine roles. In conjunction with the costumes, the casting for the show is designed colorblind casting. That mean that anyone can play any of the characters regardless of race. The set design will reflect the architecture from older New Orleans homes. The majority of the scenes occur in Stanley and Stella’s apartment/ house, so that will be the main set. The lighting for the play will be minimal natural lighting, allowing the set and costumes to shine.​

Historical Figure Set Design Fall 2020

Design Concept:

 This project is an original design from concept inception to design and execution. It is based on the great work done by Sybil Luddington. Sybil was a 16 year old girl who rode nearly 40 miles round trip though the night on April 26th in 1777, volunteering to spread the news of Gov. William Tryon’s attack on Danbury, Connecticut, (some 15 miles to the southeast) where the munitions and stores for the militia of the entire region were stored. Going father that the famous Paul Revere, whose distance record of 12.5 miles round trip.

Lion in Winter Play

Design Concept:

 This project is based on the play "A Lion in Winter" written in 1966 by James Goldman as just another normal Christmas celebration for the royal family of Britain. Who include: his three sons (Richard "Lion Hart", John, & Geoffrey) , his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine, oh, and his young Mistress Alais Capet.

The show opens with King Henry II throwing a Christmas feast for the newly crowned King of France and follows the family as they fight among each other out of petty revenge, oh and just the English throne.

Poetry to Play: Water Lilies by Alexander Milne

SHOW PICTURES COOMING SOON/ INCOMPLETE​

Design Concept:

 This project is an original design from concept inception to design and execution. It is based on the poem "Water lilies" by Alexander Milne. The theme I plan to use is the tale of Lady of the Lake (King Arthur lad lake of Avalon)​. The chosen metaphor for this project is water. One of the main symbols of the Lady of the Lake is water. Because she lives underwater, she exists in a realm almost completely unknown to readers, which adds to her depiction as a symbol of mystery and magic. Water was also often used as a symbol of healing, which is illustrated in her treatment of Arthur after he falls on the battlefield.​
