This play was a part of the Carnegie Mellon 2020-2021 season and was originally picked to be performed on our mainstage. Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, the play transitioned to being available in a digital realm as did our entire design. We pivoted to making a play that worked for all actors in their homes with a personal lighting and green screen setup in their spaces. It was a show we never imagined could have been possible as we got to combine a lot of stroytelling elements like stop motion animation, shadowpuppets, and digital face effects.

This image is from one of the initial design stages where tested the set up of the lights for the actors in their homes. We managed to make the lighting fit within an 8.5’ square.
