Blue Skies and an Old Friend


















This post is from flutist-performer, Peter Shanahan.




We're in the final stages of our rehearsal process for Dream Machines right now. The finishing touches are all falling into place, and we've been adding in many of our "real" props and set pieces to replace our rehearsal versions. I was still very shocked when I walked into rehearsal this morning and saw, for the first time, our beautiful "sky" backdrop. It's giving so much new meaning to the show! The backdrop is about ten feet tall, with white clouds on a striking blue background. The vibrant colors of props and costumes for the show just pop out so strongly against the vivid blue and white. Kudos to Travis McHale, our wonderful designer for his work on this and the many other wonderful pieces of our show. I've known Travis since we started college together, and I've never been more impressed by his work! Our props and set pieces are terrific. It's so nice to be collaborating again with such a talented person that I've had the pleasure of knowing for nearly ten years!
