Anne recently closed a successful run at Gallery 7 Theatre in Abbotsford in November. Set design started in the summer, and building happened in October. Below are some pictures of the model I made. The concept was simple: a block house, a tree, and a truck and flat that moved on/off in front of a sharktooth scrim.
New this year, I was asked to make a window for marketing photos as well as for patrons to take selfies with. I asked one of our volunteers, Steve, to make a sliding window, and then I build a small stand for it:
Then I started the “real” build…
My volunteer, Linda, helped a lot those first few weeks as we built and painted our way through Avonlea.
My dad, Chris, was kind enough to help with some special effects – we had some motorized wagon wheels and a motorized “sinking” boat. He also helped build a floor and a roof:
More building…
Chris, Rachel, and Dayton were a big help on a chilly paint day:
The train schedule was a fun little detail to add:
And then it was load-in day! Always appreciate help on this full day!
Here are a few photos from tech week – lighting was starting to build their cues:
Opening Night came! Can you spot the outline of Green Gables behind the scrim?
