Making of a Great Moment

Merrimack Repertory Theatre
2017
Director: Sean Daniels
Costumes: Jessica Ford
Lighting: Brian J. Lilienthal

The overt and playful theatricality of this show uses a variety of theatrical tricks including roll drops, sliding panels, and a ridiculous side-scrolling drop in the style of an old Hanna-Barbera cartoon to take us from place to place on its strange journey. The characters spend a great deal of time biking, and coming up with a stylized idea that could support that action in a dynamic way was a critical aspect of the design.
