Our Production Concept
​
​
"The playwright, Frank Winters, sets Student Body in a scene shop, a place where stories are manicured and perfected before they are shown to the world. In this dim theatre we find students wrestling with stories, both hidden and exposed. The scenic design for this show blows open this private space and reveals secret conversation to let the audience feel fully in the room, with their feet on the ground. May we all continue to open space for tough conversations."
-Andrew Baker, Scenic Design
