The King and I 2007

Puck only had a 400 dollar budget for this show after they had overextended themselves on the last show and the cost of performance rights and such were paid. He did a remarkable job with what he had. Once the stage was populated with all the actors it really was lovely, plus an outstanding light plot

The peacock chair was one that we rescued from the curb and they sprayed it gold. Nothing like a little gold paint to jazz up wicker

This is Anna's Room off on the side stage

This is the main stage and a close up of one of the cool fans Puck made. The vases eventually got finished and were terrific. They were Papier mache

This shows the fans fully extended... when they were folded back they could not be seen. When Puck first proposed this plan I never thought he could pull it off. He had never seen it and never tried it. But he usually tries to add some new feature into ever show just for the challange

The dictionary stand is made from a portion of a plaster lamp that we noticed in someones trash. It had such a nice shape. Again a little gold paint really sets things off. It cracked though when the kids tried to move it and Puck was ready to give it up. I thought it could be saved and ran home to get some my plaster bandage material that I had used in the masks for The Birds. We glued it together and them bandaged it with plaster strips. Danged if it didn't do the trick and Puck was relieved not to have had to rebuild the dang thing.
