AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS
AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS
Written by Jules Verne and Adapted by Mark Brown
Run: October 10-12, 2024 | 3 Evening Performances | 1 Matinee
Cast: 19 | Crew: 63
Role: Stage Manager, Scenic Designer, and Construction Crew Head
For this production I designed the set (gaining a lot from working on the set of Around the World in 80 Days during my summer internship at the Aurora Fox), was stage manager, and construction crew head. I drew scenic designs, attended rehearsal where I took blocking notes and led construction crew while we built the set. Kiouni, the elephant, was a huge feat of this production and something I am incredibly proud of.
