Building Scotland in the DCA (part 2)

Posted by DCA Theater on June 30, 2011 in January-June 2010 Season, Doctor's Dilemma

In about 8 days New Leaf transformed the DCA Storefront Theater into Scotland.  Take a closer look at all the items required:










Piece by piece - Via the loading dock, the set pieces are moved into the space.

Supplies – Gallons and gallons of the paint that will eventually make their way onto the set.

Instruments – Team members hang one lighting instrument at a time to light the stage and eat one Nutella-covered banana at a time to maintain their energy.

Boxes – A unique inside-of-a-box perspective allows for another view of the space.









Equipment (& strength!) – Set designer Michelle Lilly carries quite a bit on her way to work in the space…how often do you carry a table along with your coffee on the way to work?















Simultaneity – A theater production takes everyone moving at once – with a little help from a prop, a railing, a coffee, and an enthusiastic march into the future…




We hope you come to visit New Leaf’s Scotland in downtown Chicago!
