Mother Courage and Her Children

By Bertolt Brecht

Director: Ann Shanahan

Scenic Designer: Katie Cardinalli 

Costume Designer: Caroline Lucille Rein

Lighting Designer: Baxter Carlisle Chambers  

Sound Designer: John Chung

Technical Director: Trevor Marshall

As Assistant Technical Director, I was tasked with project planning and project tracking two units for the production of Mother Courage and Her Children. For these units, I created a cost and time estimate, and construction drawings which can be viewed above.

 

The units I was responsible for each had two flats attached together at a 105 degree angle.  Both units needed to easily roll on and off stage, have a functional door, and appear to be flat on the ground (no wagon). There was also limited space available offstage that needed to be taken into account. I also planned the agenda for the production meetings and checked on progress in the shop multiple times a week.
