Tim Palkovic's Cool Set Drawings Part 2

Tim Palkovic, designer for The 39 Steps, makes such great set drawings. Come to the show at the Depot Theatre, and see how much of this you recognize!

Kurtis makes us all look good

Kurtis Rivers (technical director) grinds a weld on a door frame for The 39 Steps. He's bringing the frames to rehearsal tomorrow so the actors can get used to using them in blocking. What we really like about this photo is that it really looks like work, which adds an air of legitimacy to the whole place. He's working where people can see him which is a big plus.

Tim Palkovic's Preliminary Drawings for 39 Steps

Here's a really great peek at the earliest sketches of our production of 39 Steps from designer Tim Palkovic. The action of play takes place all over England - in trains and hotels, in the country-side - all portrayed on one tiny stage with 4 actors, some brilliant props and an energetic crew.




These little guys might be part of a shadow-play scene.



... as well as these little dancers - though Tim tells us they are can-can girls and that he has to adjust where the dresses are so they are accurate. He's a stickler for details!
