Design Day

Congratulations to all of you for your hard work and participation in todays design workshops!
In a little under an hour all 3 classes managed to pull off nearly all of the work - thanks to the high level of cooperation from the students, the prep work and coordination of the teachers Lynda, Hilda and Archana, as well as the support from Mary!!  I know that the time goes by way too fast, and much like the prop and costume departments in the theatre it seems like chaos in the heat of it. However, the end result is that the students have an opportunity to experience the building process, to learn about design and to work together as a team.  I think that in this regard the outcome was a success!

Below is an outline (for Robbie and Adam especially) to show you what we accomplished in each of the classes, and the characters that require the particular props/costumes.
