The Process<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directed by Daniel Bird Tobin, our production of Hamlet began back in September with auditions, bringing in great interest both on the acting and technical side. Rehearsals began the following week. With the show cast, the long hours of design and construction began. After two months of hard work, we opened the show on Wednesday, November 13th, 2024. Four nights of shows, all sold out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As big a scale as this show was, how did it all come together? What were the pieces that brought the walls up, the props in the actor\u2019s hands, the lights that lit up the stage, and the sounds that immersed you in the experience? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We sat down with a couple of members of the crew and cast to tell us their experience working on this show, from sound, set, props, lights, and the challenges of building and working on such a large show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy thought process during Hamlet originally was, \u2018wow, this is going to be super cool.\u2019 And then we got the designs, then I started doing all the math, and I said, \u2018oh no, this is going to be super big.\u2019 Once it got rolling and looking at the list for the week, it was really stressful. I said, \u2018I don\u2019t know how we\u2019re going to get this done.\u2019 But, as we moved forward in the weeks, even each week individually, seeing everything, if almost by magic, by the hundreds of hours of student labor and professionals, our artists that came and helped, and all the student artists doing their work, watching it all come together it was just more and more exciting.\u201d <\/em>– Eric Dahlgren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


<\/em>\u201cAt the first production meeting, we sat down and talked about what the feeling was. We realized the audience was going to be really close, so the sounds could be subtle. The atmosphere was kinda described as this \u2018slowly fracturing\u2019 place. It was described as \u2018putting a new coat of paint over everything\u2019, and that \u2018everything is fine, everything is fine, don\u2019t look behind the curtain\u2019 type thing. I was told that sound was going to be the first thing that was letting you know that it wasn\u2019t. So I had this I think pretty unique opportunity of being able to be the part of the atmosphere that makes you start to realize just how twisted the story is.\u201d<\/em> – Adie Harvey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI mainly followed Daniel and Matthew\u2019s vision on it, because I feel like props are a thing that complements the scenic and directing design. But I definitely wanted it to feel like it stood out in the white canvas of the world of everything, and fit in with the costumes that Kasee made and designed in that color palette.\u201d <\/em>– McKenzie Snellgrove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[Hamlet] has felt so professional. I feel like I’ve been treated like an adult, and it’s just been a really awesome experience. I felt very comfortable. I’ve been able to work so hard, I’ve learned so much, and it’s just a really welcoming experience that I think you don’t get everywhere in every theater program, and I can’t speak highly of Daniel Bird Tobin enough. I mean, he’s just wonderful.\u201d <\/em>– Rachel Crain<\/p>\n\n\n\n
