Scenic Designs

Note from the Designer:
All designs for high schools are built, painted and maintained primarily by students.  The quality of any of the build and painting is directly related to the amount, experience and the ages of students.  Each production area is managed by a student Area Head as supervised by the designer.  Production work is done in class (Stagecraft I & II, Lighting Technology) and afterschool.
