The Onyx Ball: Midsummer Nights Dream

Role:

Designer
Mushroom Construction

Set Design:

Greecian Hall
Faery Forest

The Faery Forest set design was made into a painted backdrop for 'Midsummer Nights Dream'. Some of the plants were changed in color and variety, due to the fact that some costumes weren't used. Note: For the Faery Forest, the letters coincide with placement of costumes below.

Costume Design:

Philostrate
Theseus
Ergeus
Hermia
Hippolyta
Helena
Lysander
Demetrius

Oberon
Titania
Puck
Peaseblossom (A)
Moth (B)
Mustard Seed (C)
Cobweb (D)

Some of the costumes that were used, were the designs of: Philostrate, Ergeus, Hermia, Helena (I think), Puck's hat. The main Greecians (Hermia, Lysander, etc) were basically costumed in solid colors instead of classic white. The costumes were rather simple. The Faeries weren't costumed as in my drawings, except for Puck, who had the dandelion hat.

Set Building:

Mushroom Base
Covered Mushroom Stems
Finished Small Mushroom

I built two giant mushrooms with Garret for the Forest scenes. We had to design the frame for the mushrooms and plan on what materials to use, since it hadn't been done before. They had to be able to hold one or two people inside the stem, be light weight for tech crew, and look like a mushroom. The small mushroom was the first one done. They weren't used because they got placed into the wrong spot in the scene shop on the day of dress rehearsal.
