LYCEUM THEATER - TEMPE, ARIZONA | Designed Fall 2023
The intent of the design was to resemble a patio on the exterior of a house in the Garden District of New Orleans in 1930, but with a twist. The house, furniture, and props were designed to be white and outlined in black to support the dark theme of the play in a beautiful southern setting, while drawing attention to the delusions of the characters. This design concept extends to the jungle plants of Sebastian’s patio, as they are overgrown and not well kept. This is why they are the only elements displayed in full color.
Magenta Hibiscus Flowers
Vibrant and Bold Jungle Plants
White Wicker Furniture
White Lace Curtains
Trellis
The trellis is off on stage right to signify the edge of the house porch. The posts are to be painted white wood and appear soft. In contrast, the accent pieces of the fence are to be black/gray wrought iron and appear rough.
