BUS STOP: SET DESIGN

By: Phat Huynh

Overview

The entire play takes place in one location: the restaurant.

The play takes place in early March, during a snowstorm.

The entire place takes place over 4 hours.

Theatre Space

The stage will be a Proscenium Stage.

We chose this type of stage because its usually has the most space out of all the stage types, as such its also a lot easier for the stage hands to move props around and its

easier for the actors to move in and out of scenes.

Design Choices

The colorfulness of the set is to create a light and happy mood for the audience.

The set will have an retro/vintage design.

The set will have a realistic design.

The set should also feel small to reflect the rustic feel of the restaurant.

Floor Plan

Floor plan details

The window should be dark to show the time of day, at the last act the window should be light to show sunrise.

There should be a sign on the back door that differentiated it from the door to grace’s apartment.

There are four chairs around each table, there should also be three or four stools at the counter area.

The Set

Diner Counter and stools should look similar to this. Against the wall there should be a variety of appliances.

Tables and seats, similar to these but not as shiny. There should be napkins dispenser and salt and pepper containers on both tables

The Set

The sofa should be big enough for a person to lay on.

Note: props don’t have to be exactly the same

There should be a small Bookshelf with some books and magazines on it. There also needs to be a copy of Romeo and Juliet in the bookshelf.

Props

There should be a variety of colorful decorations on the wall above the sofa and bookshelf.

There can also be a juke box so the set can have a more vintage feel to it.
