Technically Talking (about sod) and the Season Pass Drawing

The News & Record has run an article about the sod we have used on the set for Picnic. Follow the link for the article and photos here: http://www.news-record.com/content/2009/09/09/article/picnic_gets_a_perfect_setting_real_dead_grass

Also, if you want to be updated on Facebook about the goings-on at Triad Stage you should become a fan @ Triad Stage's Facebook page.

Once again our website also has plenty of info that can get you to the theatre or find out about our season pass drawing! When you buy a season pass between now and Sept. 27, you will be entered into a drawing (along with all current season pass holders) to win a free night's stay @ the O. Henry or Proximity hotels.

Our Tecnically Talking talkback occurred this past Tuesday, where the designers the directors get together and answer questions from the audience about the play. Pictured above are myself, Howard Jones (scene designer), David Smith (sound designer), Preston Lane (director), Kelsey Hunt (costume designer), and John Wolf (lighting designer). Photos by Charles Howard.

Howard Jones talks about the sod and how he was inspired by the artist David Hockney when it came to designing the sky.

Kelsey Hunt describes the reasoning behind the neutral choices for costume colors.



David Smith describes how he sampled George Winston, but reconfigured the piano music to mold the moments of the play.

The theater at rest.
(But just imagine all the seats filled.)
