The Opposite of Sex
Williamstown Theatre Festival
Director: Robert Jess Roth
Set Design: Derek McLane
Technical Director: Serge Gountas
Associate Technical Directors: Michael Wyant & Colin Stewart
This show had to numerous locations.  The concept of this design was that you would be looking down at a world.  Each of the small scale foam models represented a building; i.e. a church or school, or hotel.  When the scene would begin, that building was highlighted by the lighting, and numerous props world set the scene.
Two purple portals were constructed for this show.  Each of these portals also had a ceiling.  The back wall was full stage, and was covered in scrim in the center because a small orchestra was behind that wall.  The models themselves are constructed ot of foam core, and they all had some sort of lighting with them.  They were attached to the walls using blocks, and or baling wire.
