Lids, Lights, Foam and More

This summer I had the opportunity to work on the set for a local production of Annie Jr.  Sometimes the most unlikely materials come together to create some of most interesting things.  We needed decorative corners for our entrance to the Roxy Theatre. 

Plastic lids, cardboard, and small cardboard tubes joined with hot glue

A little flat latex paint

Added to the set

The next challenge was to make lighted signs for this scene.  This involved reusing some very study foam core signboard, a little math (to figure out how to space the bulbs, etc.), some painting and a whole lot of drilling.
