Building Scotland in the DCA (part 3)

Posted by DCA Theater on July 1, 2011 in January-June 2011 Season, Lighthousekeeping

Creation involves many types of “–ation” in the the theater…

Playwright in elevator






Transportation – First, New Leaf moved from their rehearsal space in the Fine Arts Building to the performance space at the DCA Storefront Theater. Here’s the playwright taking the elevator.







Conversation








Conversation – Several members of the New Leaf team discuss while testing out a bit of the set.






Computation and Jubilation







Computation & jubilation – One New Leafer is hard at work computing while the director & the cast’s youngest member are hard at work dancing.






Evaluation







Evaluation – A couple of New Leafers evaluate the staircase while another evaluates the evaluators.






Experimentation







Experimentation – Here we find the set designer with her notebook, several gallons of paint, and an experiment underway.






Determination







Determination – One page at a time, the staircase is covered, as one story at a time our stories are told.










Now that you’ve seen how the New Leaf team constructed the material world of the play, we hope you’ll come and experience the story!
