Covid 19 Safety Protocols in Metro Theatre

BEHIND THE SCENES: FIVE ALARM

Set design amid COVID

We are in an interesting time due to COVID-19. With safety protocols in place – time to open the theatre. On with the show.

Set Design Model to Stage

Set Design √ – wait, hmmm… how to design the set keeping in mind the protocols for the Performing Arts returning to operation.

First step: Reading the play – oh, Dr. Bonnie will be pleased. Five (5) characters on stage “fewer faces,” and this play takes place outdoors “bigger spaces.”

Then: Create furniture plot; really, 2- tables, that is the only set dressing required? Phew! And, easily to keep sanitized.

Feeling a little more confident that I can create a fun space – a safe space – for the cast and crew create in.

Social distancing at 6 feet, so, if I start with the floor and create a series of 6 foot squares, thus allowing the actors to have a visual reference for social distancing purposes; allows the Director to block the show using social distancing.
