The theatre at which I work is currently in production with Tracey Lett's " Superior Donuts". If you are not familiar with the show it poses an interesting technical challenge That I thought might make a great QoTD. When the show opens we are looking at the interior of a donut shop, the glass in the front door is broken and there is profanity spray painted across the the upstage wall, in red spray paint ! During the curse of the play, the young 'Kid' cleans up the store and as part of the cleaning he has to paint over the graffiti, Not just once but twice, 'cause the first coat doesn't completely cover the red. How do you pull off the trick of having to paint over graffiti, in full view of the audience as part of the action of the show, not just once but twice ? How do you do it so that it can be done once a night for 7 shows a week, 6 week run, twice on Sundays ?
Put your artistic thinking caps on and tell me what you'd do.
