Cafe Society

Assistant Stage Manager Marissa Brown and Scenic Studio Assistant Zach Hubler adjust the set for Café Society before warmups and mic checks. The gold color, swirling calligraphy, and elaborate design was crafted with the 1920s setting in mind. Lots of period research was done beforehand to create a Gatsby-like feel. “Good design is when you’ve helped tell the story,” said Scenic Designer Rob Johnson. “The design is supposed to match the tone of the show. A more tragic plot would have a sharper, more cut design.”
