Scenic and Lighting Design and Production Management by Leigh Henderson
Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre (Grand Lake, CO), June 2004
By Stuart Ross
Directed by Timothy Baker
Set in a space between life and death, Forever Plaid is the posthumous concert of a 50s quartet which has just been killed in a car wreck on their way to their first big gig.
The set and lighting establish a space of both transition and magic, featuring a big reveal at the end when the dropcloths around the proscenium are whisked away to unveil huge plaid light boxes.
Because summer shows at Rocky Mountain Rep run in rotating repertory, the scenery is designed to be struck easily after each performance.
