Greek Play Production Project
The play we ended up putting on was 'The American Dream.' This play was about an Italian immigrant that moves to America during the great depression. This man, Antonio, has a bad start. He steals a hot dog in order to eat and a thug sees him. The thug then starts chatting with Antonio about this theft saying that he's a natural. The thug then offers Antonio some work, but the work that the thug has in mind is not exactly legal. Antonio ends up stealing in order to survive, which gets him killed.
I was one of the people drawing and painting the backdrop. The role of the backdrop, was to create a sketch of the design that would be used throughout the play in the background.Then paint the large canvas drop cloth and stretched over a tall, wooden frame that would be placed at the very back of the stage. I am most proud of how it all turned out. I really liked how we blended colors to make the sky and water, and how the statue of liberty turned out. If I had to chenge something, I would fix the hand holding the torch, because it came out a little weird.
