Our final show of the 2018-19 season is coming up!  You can buy your tickets on the show page or directly on EventBrite, or contact the Box Office for reservations.

The set of a play is more than just the background for the action.  In a black-box space like ours with no curtain, it's the first thing that an audience member knows about the play; it sets the tone and can lay down thematic foundations for the production.  Let's take a deep dive into what the Sister Cities set is telling us.  (SPOILERS ahead on a significant plot point.)

Sister Cities is a period piece, in that it's set in a specific year: 2006. For most of the audience, that's well within living memory, and that creates a challenge: how do you set the scene to cleanly distinguish the "then" from the "now", when the two may well blur together in people's minds?
