Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 - "Assistant" Technical Director
Venue: Muhlenberg College Empie Theater
With the TD position still vacant at this stage of the semester, I built and lead the shop crew students for this production as well. I was very fortunate for the CNC Machine to cut out all of the curves for this entirely curved set.
I had to custom bend metal tubing to make the curtain walls
This took a little trial and error fortunately the pipe bender and the steel were quite forgiving
The curtain pipe was also hung at a compound angle
That chandelier is fully custom with RGB LED lighting install inside with glass beads hanging down. Lots of work student hours went to counting glass beads.
With the CNC machine the pieces all fit together like legos which was very nice to delegate to students.
