THE RAINMAKER
Photos of the production in process
08/19/00 This is our mainstage, the Curry's farmhouse. The flats
are up and a basecoat has been applied. That's Jerry creating a stone fireplace.
Our theater has the mainstage and two side stages, left and right. The
tackroom is on audience's left, Deputy File's office is audience right.
08/19/00 Here's a closeup of Jerry at work, carving the
stones from styrofoam.
08/25/00 The detail painting on the fireplace is finished.
We just have to build a mantle and mount the fireplace against the rear
wall.
08/19/00 This is the tackroom, where Lizzy and Starbuck discuss
life, the Universe and everything. Construction has been completed and
it is ready for the wood graining. Our plan is to make the walls look like
the 'barnwood' behind the wooden sawhorse. Once the wood graining is done
the room will be filled with saddles and tack.
08/19/00 This is Deputy File's office. Is is completely built
and ready for painting and detailing. Yes, that is Dolly in jail. We use
her to stand in for actors while checking sight lines and setting lights.
08/25/00 The Sheriff and Deputy File rehearse the "I don't want a
dog!" scene.
08/19/00 This is part of the work area backstage. Enter with
care.
