ZACH Crew Does It Again: LOVE, JANIS Set Begins to Take Stage
A lot of people don’t realize that ZACH Theatre employs literally hundreds of contractors, artists, designers and crew members to bring our various directors’ dreams to fruition on stage. This week at ZACH, a truck pulled up to the theatre with tons of steel in its cargo for the LOVE, JANIS set (FYI: it’s really heavy, man.) At the same time, the dusty stage for THE GRAPES OF WRATH was being tore down as stage crew walked around with surgical masks, pulling down gigantic scafoldings, muddling through the dust and working together to at once deconstruct and stage the theatre for ZACH’s Summer of Love.
Sidney Pan, ZACH’s gifts manager, pulled out her camera and sent me these pictures of ZACH’s tear-down/construction process — it’s a good thing, too, because it happens so fast that without a keen camera eye it might look like magic … trust us, it’s not:
GRAPES OF WRATH stage begins tear down.
Huge Panels + Tiny Humans = Teamwork Required!
You'll be glad to know: ZACH Theatre recycles.
