I Love a Piano

It takes a lot of work, from the actors as well as from the technical folks, to mount one of our productions. On this page, we'd like to invite you backstage to see what's going on while we prepare I Love a Piano for opening night. As usual, the most recent photos are at the top.

Enjoy!



Zak, Tim, and Tom lay out the fabric cover for a very large flat.



The very large flats covered and ready to hang. They will become projection screens.



No, it's not an Alien face hugger. It's just spray insulation foam used to attach a strip of wood to the back of one of the large sheet music props to help it keep its shape.



A couple of the costumes under construction.



Zak completes the foam molding on a window unit.



A faux spinet piano is about to be converted to a faux 1900's-vintage upright piano.

A pile of 4x8' platforms awaiting installation.



Our new Prop Rentals Manager, Larry Jeane: "I'm ready. I'm just sitting here waiting. Send some customers my way!"
