Set Design at Sunset Playhouse

I've been working with the Sunset Playhouse as set designer for their next production of:

The show runs March 7 through March 24, 2013.

It takes place in a one family apartment over a tavern, hence the name, in 1959. I have had a great time researching that time period, and trying to recreate the world these characters inhabit.

It's great to get hands on with the set and work on a project like this. I have had a lot of help from the Sunset's Technical Director A.J. Simon. Very handy and creative as well.
