Mary Stuart
Lee Strasberg/NYU - New York, NY
When using proscenium style, I love justifying the separation between stage and audience, with that in mind I was inspired in museums and museum exhibits. With this being a theatre piece based in history, the Director and I were interested in how history is portrayed and biased, we were also interested in how together as an audience can judge a figure or story, and emphasize how women in positions of power are placed in a pedestal and judged with a higher standard. The commonalties between a stage and a museum display were interesting for me to explore.
Directed by: Nicholas Polonio ; Scenic Design by: Rodrigo Escalante; Costumes by: Keyon Woods; Lighting Design by: Erin MacDevitt ; Sound Design by: Chelsea Daniels.
