My Project

This project was created to help my students create the setting for our spring play, which is a horror themed show. It is set in modern times inside an old Victorian mansion, and we need many things to help it come alive! One is a chess table! Yes, a built in chess board! We need this as one of the staple pieces for our set. I have also requested several statues of eerie artwork and gargoyles to help show the battle between good and evil in this show. I am requesting throw pillows to help the furniture we are renting feel full and from the Victorian era. We also need bedding that is reminiscent of the Victorian era and wealth. This bedding along with the bed canopy will truly enhance these scenes and show and even more intense scene for our audience. All of these items will allow my students to show their creative genius when it comes to set and props decorating and making sure the story comes alive!
