With the show less than a month away, the cast and crew of
“Don’t You Forget About Me” got together on Saturday get started on making the
set. Dom and Sam, our Tech Director and Assistant Director, drove us to a
secluded garage on campus to begin organizing the platforms for our set. Since
four 80s films will be part of this play—The Breakfast Club, Say Anything,
Mystic Pizza, and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off—our stage will accommodate all four
plays by using various platforms of different heights. These platforms will
give us better a better performance space on stage while giving each play a
defined set to work with.
After moving the heavy platforms
(and struggling), we headed back to the theater to clean the stage and organize
the props closet. Once we got there, we decided to split into two different
groups and make these tasks a competition. Even though the props closet crew
had to mop up a puddle due to the leaky ceiling, they managed to come in first.
Then the stage managers ended the day by sweeping and mopping the stage. Two
more set builds to go!
