Before & After...

One of the most difficult things about directing a show is visualizing what the final product will look like when you are in rehearsal. I'm constantly suprised by the depth and visual punch that the designers bring to the final product. To help illustrate this, we've put together a pair of shots (with help from the always fabulous Mark Oristano). The first is a scene in rehearsal. You can always tell these shots by the tennis shoes and casual wear on the actors. The second shot is the same scene in performance. Quite a difference, huh?
