Description: This production was performed on the intimate stage at the Actors PLAYground Theatre. The scenic budget for this show was around $750. While scenic designing for this show, I met and collaborated with the director, conducted research, created a mood board, drew multiple sketches, renderings, and ground plans, created a scale model, re-upholstered a couch, and managed and taught teams of volunteers helping with the construction, carpentry, painting, and set dressing, while my heart joined the picture of the beautiful March home.

Concept:
"Your home always looks so interesting and fun. Like a picture when all of the lamps are lit ...
Well then,] | give you leave to ..... come over and join the picture if you feel like it....you are officially invited to call on the March home whenever you please!"
~Little Women, Adapted for the stage by Scott Davidson, p. 16

These beautiful lines were what inspired the concept for my scenic design of Little Women. My goal was to create a set that reflected these words and left the audience with the same desires to join the picture that lovable Laurie had.

Additionally, the set was also inspired by Amy March. These girls put so much heart and effort into their play within the play, I thought it only fitting for them to have done the same on this beautiful show. With this in mind, the idea was born that Jo wrote the dialogue for the show, Beth played the music, Meg designed their costumes, hair, and makeup, and Amy drew and painted their set. This truly is these girls' show, that they put on, so I strove to reflect that in every way I could.

This is why the set was designed to look like a sketched watercolor painting.
