A little right brain and a little left brain

Making stage props can be challenging and fun at the same time. Scouring the surplus stores off Colfax in Denver is always an adventure! There's a scene in WYSIWYG that we needed a device to highlight the faces of the characters while they are online. It had to be simple, bullet proof, look like a phone and have a bit more luminosity; of course, Denise gets leopard skin. Remember the scene in "Suspicion" where Hitchcock puts a light in a glass of milk!

Eco-friendly WYSIWYG Festibill Program Insert

QR codes are machine-readable optical labels first designed in 1994 for the automotive industry in Japan. Typically, a smartphone is used as a QR code scanner to convert the code into some useful form (such as a standard URL for a website, thereby obviating the need for a user to type it into a web browser).
We're trying to be as eco-friendly as possible, so this July we'll be hanging posters with the QR code above around the LATEA theater entrance so patrons can view our festibill program insert directly on their smart phones. Try it out now and yes we are tree lovers in Colorado.

Devices, Devices, Devices

It seems like these days people are on their devices all the time and the characters in WYSIWYG are certainly no exception. They're always checking-in online to see their messages, latest news and upcoming events. For our NYC run we decided to nest and print our post cards and flyers on foam core to simulate the plethora of devices being used by people today.

Ackerman Institute | Gender & Family Project

We've teamed up with the Ackerman Institute for the Family during our Planet Connections New York City performance run. A simple Google search, a cold call and a few eMails...it was a match made in Heaven. It's uncanny how their message of authenticity matches so closely to our show.
