A little bit of magic happens about two weeks before opening night of any theater production.  It requires a lot of work from a lot of people, and of course a lot of supervision.In our case, tech week will see the metamorphosis of the Potter Hall Theater from a bare stage to a wild combination of a balcony, a town square, a bedroom, a friar’s cell, a party room, an apothecary shop, a cemetery and a tomb.  And, if imagination allows, a plywood hot tub.

These photographs were taken during the very early stages of set construction.
