This thesis contains the following: research images collected to develop and communicate ideas regarding location, shape, texture, scale, mood, and historical and architectural reference to the production team; preliminary sketches and digital renderings, and photographs of the 1⁄4” scale model; a full set of drafting plates and painter’s elevations used to communicate finished appearance of each scenic element, a list of props containing details for each prop used in the production and an accompanying research image reference book; and finally, paperwork generated during the rehearsal and production process. Archival production photographs are furthermore included as documentation of the completed design.
