What is a dramaturgy blog?

This blog will serve as a source of research and information for the cast and crew of GPAC's Ragtime. Each post will address specific topics or areas of interest presented in the show. Dramaturgy is meant to highlight the historical, social, political, and economical context of the play as well as answer any questions presented by the cast and crew. Instead of printing packets of information for the cast, this online blog will allow me to continuously share research, pictures, video, music, etc - without wasting any paper! The blog will constantly be updated and under construction so feel free to email me about specific topics: JoanMarieHurwit@gmail.com.

Set design, lighting, and photos... oh my!

Scenic Designer, Victoria Veal, sent this photo to the production team before rehearsals even began; it was her inspiration for the color scheme of the set. The set, as I see it right now in the theater before me, amplifies this photo tenfold. It alludes to the Industrial Revolution, early 20th century/Standford White architecture, and is a commentary on the growing media coverage and awareness of the time.

 

Without giving too much away, here are two production photos from my first night of tech week.  Our lighting designer Rick is playing with colors, shadows and silhouettes, and accenting. 
 

Does this color scheme look familiar...?


Yup... brilliant.
