I conceived the backbone of the space for these two shows together in order to provide them both with more of an intimate setting in the large proscenium theater at Umass Amherst - the Rand. The wall and thrust were built for both shows and dressed differently for each. The shows ran one after the other in the Spring of 2022. Please see show-specific credits below.
