Carpenter - Little Red & Much Ado About Nothing

  • Built in blackbox style theatre

  • Set was multifunctional - a quick changeover of small set pieces (a door, bed, gate, etc.) would allow the set to switch between the two shows

  • 18' stock walls were used, refaced with brick, and decorated with ivy

  • Worked on all aspects of the set - focused on flooring and platform construction

  • Worked in a team of 3 to construct two custom functional opening windows and shutters

Carpenter - Fences

  • Worked on all aspects of the set, but focused on trees - construction, detailing, painting, and installation

  • Trees were first constructed using a plywood base and top connected with a series of 2x4 supports and additional 1x to create a shape

  • The wooden frames were then covered in chicken wire attached with staples

  • The chicken wire was then covered with stretched muslin so that the paper would have something to stick on to

  • Muslin was covered in paper soaked in a glue and water mixture, which created a bark-like texture

  • Paper was sealed with roofing compound, then painted to look like trees

Carpenter - Hamlet (Will Power Tour)

  • Worked solo to interpret drawings and construct wall and door units for main platform

  • Worked with one other carpenter to install vinyl flooring to 2 4'x8' platforms

  • Assisted in the installation of all molding and trim

  • Assisted paint charge with simple painting tasks - underpainting platform, solid walls, and touch-ups
