This was my very first time working as the set designer for a play, and at this point I barely had any experience. All I knew is that I loved sets that amaze the audience, so I was inspired to go big. A lit-up roller coaster suspended from the rafters, an “ocean” of blue fabric, 30 yards, all sewn, that flooded the stage… I can still hear the gasps as “water” emerged from under the audience’s feet. A bookcase with a falling shelf, an elaborately painted fortune teller’s podium.
