Ever wondered how theatrical designers translate their vision from concept to reality?

Back in January, North Coast Rep brought together some of their favorite designers and asked them just that! First, hear from Set Designer Marty Burnett as he explains how he takes from the parse descriptions a script provides and builds a whole world from that. Then, learn from Costume Designer Elisa Benzoni as she explains why we dress and what tools she uses to create her custom threads. Next, Lighting Designer Matthew Novotny talks about his journey in commercial and artistic spaces. Then, Sound Designer Melanie Chen Cole and Artistic Director show you how sound can shape an actor's performance. Finally, Wig Designer Peter Herman clues you in on how he crafts his wigs from scratch. We then opened the floor for some Q&A!
