Faithful
For those of you who didn't already know, I'm volunteering with Acme Theater again. Our next production, Faithful, opens in three weeks. I just came back from the third session of set building (two more to go), and things are really starting to look pretty darn good. I should have taken pictures of the progress each weekend— I'll have to do that next time. Here's what everyone has accomplished so far…
1st week: put up walls; made and installed "columns" to box in the bar area.
2nd week: built the bar framework and installed lights; cut down a full-sized table to fit in a small alcove; built a drawer in the table so that it is more like a desk; put up panels of outdoor scenery for a patio area; LOTS and lots of painting.
3rd week: added a shelf to the desk thingy and painted it glossy black; sanded plexiglas to give it a "frosted" look; cut portholes in the bar for the plexiglas panels and installed them; made translucent panels for the bar; built a nifty three-part sliding door; made and attached "crown molding" to the walls.
I'm sure that there's lots of other stuff that I'm forgetting because I'm in a hurry. But it's starting to look like a real set. Now I hope people actually come to the show.
