This set was simply a basic green room classroom with elements from my high school days. Bare minimum furniture with a bit of white lady pizazz. My primary role in designing was the creation of all the posters for shows, as well as choosing the plethora of peppy LGBT, BLM, and vegan memes and photos. Considering that this is meant to be a youth theater program, the majority of the plays chosen by me for the posters were either classic edgy or just a bit out there and uncomfortable for kids to be performing. A couple were chosen because they are fun shows that are awesome for minors! Every single one is something I have seen high schoolers perform.
