A fifty-by-eighteen-foot trapezoidal thrust stage in the sanctuary with
no proscenium, no wings, no fly space and no theater lighting.
But a determined and generous congregation with a heart as big as all outdoors joined with a writer, directors and pastors with a message and a mission to create a powerful force. They asked Seger to design a full-stage Loockerman Street, a full-stage Bethlehem, and the interiors of a garage, living room, Old State House and a mall scene. He responded with thirty-six 3'x 12' flats that became twelve periaktoi, three platforms and a painted scrim. With the help of many hands, the set was completed in just four weeks. To top it off, when he suggested better lighting for next year, they asked him to draw up what he needed.
The next day, bars and cable were installed along with ten ellipsoidals.
A powerful force. |
