Fitting Homer in a Blackbox

Nicholas Alexiy Moran (top) and Matthew Herrick (bottom).

How to create an onstage ship's mast that can be assembled and taken down in under a minute? Having company member Nick Moran stand on somebody's shoulders (in this case, Matthew Herrick) was the solution that stuck after we started workshopping Homer's Odyssey back in Fall 2008. We've acquired some bells and whistles since then, but this photo captures our approach: An effort to communicate the most using the simplest means - though not always the easiest, as Matthew in the photo will attest. We open September 3rd.
