| Production Process - Meet the Props Master & Technical Director
by Jim Davis - Managing Director on 3/27/2009 05:29:00 PM
Many people ask me what the hardest part of my job is... and I think it has to be assembling just the right people for a specific production team. We've been very fortunate to assemble some of the best theatre professionals in the Chicagoland area.
Over the next few weeks, I'd like to introduce you to some of the people who make it possible for our production values to excel in the challenging space in our home here at the Noyes Cultural Arts Center Theatre.
Meet Props Master, Susana Pelayo:
Susie Pelayo is pictured above painting the market baskets for the show. Susie has over 70 properties in the show from very exact wicker chairs to lots of glassware to these hard to find market baskets. Susana has to be very creative about how to find these difficult items... asking just the right person the right questions at the right time can make all the difference. Susie has been our assistant stage manager for the past two shows and is also the stage manager for our Next Communities Project.
Meet Technical Director, Phil Canzano:
Phil Canzano has been hard at work building the set for the show. His attention to detail has really helped make the difference between a well-constructed set and a very detailed realization of the set designer's drawings. Phil has worked as a carpenter on many of our shows over the past few years and we're lucky that he was able to step into this role, taking complete responsibility for getting the set done WAY ahead of schedule.
We're just over two weeks out from the start of previews, so everyone is really hard at work putting the final touches on the technical elements of the play to be ready to integrate those elements into the production during the crazy five days known as "tech week".
Stay tuned...Labels: Production Department, Technical, The Overwhelming

I was really impressed with the production. The acting was wonderful. Everyone took their part/s very well, and the accents were totally believable. A very powerful story. The set was simple and effective. Bravo!
