After you shove it, think about this.
ControlBooth is a great resource for theatre students doing their homework. You have absolutely no room to talk "sk8rsdad" considering you don't know how serious we are about theatre. I bet you couldn't beat some of our set designs OR shows for that matter.
Make that with your macaroni and white glue.

Hello Carly and Rachel. Think of posting on CB like going to a teacher after class for some extra advice. You have the attention of a lot of professionals who do theater at all different levels here. In this thread you've had a response from a volunteer who has been doing theater probably longer than you've been alive, a guy who if he wanted could make you fly hundreds of feet in the air, and now myself college faculty and theater technician. Other pros have no doubt read your post and not posted because of your attitude. We hang out here to help and to teach. We don't hang out here to do your homework for you.
So lets start over. Here are the basic questions that EVERY designer from high school to Broadway thinks about. What is the play about? What locations does it require? Are there specific things that have to be in those locations (you mentioned a throne for example). Is this a classroom exercise or are you really building the set? What is the budget? What is your artistic vision for what the show should look like? What is the emotional reaction you are trying to draw out of the audience?
Tell us more about the show. Tell us about your ideas for the design. Tell us where you get stuck and we will help solve your problems.
My apologies for coming off as offensive. It was not my intention. <snip>
I think I DO have room to talk. Perhaps more important, I make room to listen and to reflect on what I hear and read before responding. It's a good skill to learn.
And the only reason why we got so defensive towards sk8rdad is because he pretty much "dissed" us on our age range by saying "make it out of macoroni and white glue"
Indeed we are young, I am only a junior in High School, but you have to start somewhere to get where we are all going. And I would greatly respect that those comments be kept to themselves.
Now, we promise to be professionals as long as what we have asked for in respect. Thank you.
