Scenic Construction
The set for "The Bench" was constructed and painted in a 3 day span, including the get-in. I worked in a team of 3 including designer Lee Hollow. I used raw materials to build the kitchen counter, then worked with the team to construct the 2 large set pieces. Due to the quick turn around of the set, some of the set painting was completed after the get-in which consisted of some of the flats, and the green center pitch rug.
Get-in Staff
To begin the get-in we prepared the set pieces to be transported and thoroughly cleaned the workshop area we had been using to build the set. We then loaded the set pieces into a van, and I drove the team to the theatre where the set was being delivered to. There we unloaded the vehicle, and began screwing together the prepared flats to build the set. Some of the painted needed touching up after construction, and the set needed dressing. This consisted of placing furniture, plates, wall accessories, kitchen utensils ect.
