September's end...
Sep. 30th, 2003 10:44 pmAnother good day, a long and busy day, a tiring day....
This afternoon at work I made two large colages on bristolboard for a dislpay the theatre's Volunteer Committee is doing. For one, I put on a large black and white photo of our production of "The Fantasticks" from July this year, with various programmes, a small colour photo from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (October, 2000) and a few poster-type ads. I labelled that "Recent plays at the OLT".
The other one I called "The 1940s". I lucked into finding two beautiful watercoour drawings of the sets for two plays from c. 1947 and photos and programmes for the same shows - one for "The Cherry Orchard" and one for something called "Orders is Orders". Funny thing about "Orders is Orders". The water colour of the set showed a lovely drawing room with pink wallpaper and Queen Anne chairs. The photograph of the actors on stage showed a set that looked like a frontier fort - nothing much but a wall of upright sharpened stakes.
I figure it must have been Act II.
