Meeting

At 10:30 this morning I met with Sharon Barnes, the director of The Secret Garden, to discuss the preliminary scenery plan. It was a good meeting, a few changes were made, and all for the better. You have to put something on paper as a starting point for making changes toward the final product. I learned that decades ago in the commercial art biz.

Her concerns were met - such as the bedroom being too small to fit the number of actors that are in certain bedroom scenes. My rolling double sided pieces were good, but we modified them to make them even better, hinging together clusters of them to make them easier to place and better looking. She liked the tree I described, and it is partially fabricated in my basement already. And we agreed that, given our space limitations, the gallery, the ballroom, the study and the library are all the same treatment.

So here we go. She will get information about my budget and the fabrication can begin in earnest.
