Hello,
I apologise in advance if this is the wrong place for this post. I am a volunteer at my daughters middle school in San Jose, CA. I am the head of the Drama Club which operates with a faculty sponsor and the monetary support of the Parent Faculty Club. We're putting on 2 one act shows in April and after looking at the stage - I'm freaking out. The stage is in the gym and has no backstage area, no side stage area -basically no where for the students to be when not supposed to be in sight of the audience! The sets for the one acts (Wishful Thinking" and "This is a Test") are very simplistic - chosen partly for that reason! but I was thinking I need to build flats to create a backstage and side stage area.
This school has no theatre arts program and no one that really knows anything about set building, and to be honest - I haven't dealt with flats since high school (many moons ago).
Does anyone have any ideas or advice they can share? I'd be very appreciative =) Thanks in advance!
