This two-part show was full of fun and interesting challenges. The rough-hewn quality of the woodwork was all done by hand, using a variety of tools including hatchets, rasps,
chisels, draw knives, and Dremel tools. The window was a combination of
materials, using paint, Crystal Gel, food coloring, sealer,
caulk, and automotive weatherstripping. But by far my favorite project was the haunting images of the line kings, whose presence dominated
the action of the play.
