A Comedy of Tenors

Okoboji Summer Theatre / 2022

Set in 1930s Paris, A Comedy of Tenors follows a producer assembling "the biggest concert in the history of Paris" as false identities, oversized egos, romance, and slamming doors send the evening into chaos.

Design Statement

t has been a dream of mine to design an elegant interior box set because of the aesthetic expectation and to solve the layout. Something that was important to me in this design was to get the essence of a warm vintage/1930s glow, almost like an amber filter.
