DESIGN
The creative team came into this show with a very ambitious scenic design. The show was to be driven by grand scenic gestures that would utilize the emotional undertones of the piece to construct the world of Thebes on stage. The gestures included a giant set of conveyor belt topped ramps to be raised up from the stage deck, a giant weather balloon, a scrim that could be set at a 45 degree angle and a proscenium sized painted drop.
