Well, thanks to the genius of our set designer, Robert Kramer (he also designed the amazing set for 2007's production of The Dishwashers) and the astute eye of our director, Tom Reing, it was an easily obtainable feat.
First the boat:
Rigged from the "grid" (such as it is in Studio 3...) and controlled by moveable hemp lines on pulleys, the boat easily transitions from calm rowboat scenes to dinner scenes to fast-paced racing scenes.
Speaking of those fast-paced racing scenes:
Nick Park and Kevin Duffin, looking sporty in Megan Diehl's costumes.
Our Technical Director, Andrew Thompson, did an amazing job with all of the rigging. Here he shows Kevin a boat move:
The boat also doubles (when turned over) as a dining room table! Here Ellen Tobie serves some yams to Paul Nolan:
Ellen and Nick, as mother and son, have a moment:
Kevin has perfected his angsty look:
Row, boys, row!
And me, in my tech stage manager mode:
The show's lighting was designed by Dom Chacon and the sound designed by Mark Valenzuela.
Don't miss this wonderful piece. This is one of those rare shows in my experience that has been amazing on all levels-- the cast is not only super-talented but also very sweet, the rehearsal process was wonderful, tech was smooth and now we're looking forward to a great run.
