Behind the Scenes

For any play, the set is an important part of the storytelling, but for a show like The Play That Goes Wrong, the set is less a backdrop and more a member of the cast.

The world of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella is perfect for whimsical, elaborate props. For its staging of the musical this summer, the BDACT production crew leaned in to the task, which included designing a life-size prop horse that could be ridden by Prince Topher.

Why a mood board is essential: Take a peek at my visual guide for the Guys and Dolls promotional photoshoot. It allowed me to weave together the elegance of the 1940s with the vibrant spirit of the show, ultimately helping our cast bring the characters to life beautifully.

Mission: Improv-able, as an improv show, seems at first glance to not have much happening behind the scenes. It's just improv, right? Jump on stage and make stuff up?

The curtain is about to rise on the beloved musical "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change," but behind the scenes, a different kind of magic is happening. A team of dedicated volunteers and a talented set artist are hard at work, transforming a blank stage into a vibrant world of love, laughter, and life's little moments.

Steve Meyer is a talented artist and craftsman who loves bringing creative ideas to life. When his wife, Deb, Director of Cobble Me This, needed help creating a whimsical stage design for a Scottish cobbler’s cottage in the mid-1700’s, she knew exactly who to lean into.
