Audio Description- Scenic Elements
Item Description:
A sampling of scenic art and props is displayed, including scenic elements specifically created for our production of Bye Bye Birdie. Scenic elements on display include a rotary phone, a small version of a large teddy bear, a miniature version of the Bye Bye Birdie sign, and samples of wallpaper, shag carpet, and paint.
Rotary Phone: Red plastic rotary telephone as seen on stage.
Teddy Bear: A small version of the large-scale bear present in the MacAfee house. The teddy bear is made of brushed polyester material and features plastic eyes and a cotton embroidered nose and mouth. It is filled with cotton stuffing inside and has a satin bow.
Bye Bye Birdie Sign with Light: The letters of the Bye Bye Birdie sign are made of laser cut wood, mounted to a painted screen and adorned with heat set rhinestones. Heat set rhinestones have a disk of heat-activated glue on the back which then adheres to the rhinestone to a surface once heat is applied. The screen is mounted to our scrim frame so it can be illuminated from the front and from behind with the touch of a button.
Painted Shag Carpet: The floor of the display is covered in the same shag carpet that is on the floor of the MacAfee’s house on stage. The carpet was originally a light dusty blue color but has been painted with teal to bring it into the color world of the scene.
House Wallpaper Sample & Portal Paint Sample: The background of the display is painted in the blue polka dot design that decorates the portals on stage and the display includes a sample of the yellow and orange hand-painted wallpaper present in the MacAfee house. For both painting projects, our artisans used a projector mounted above the paint floor on a custom gantry system that we built in-house. A gantry system is a mechanical platform that can move in multiple directions; our gantry system allows us to move the projector around the paint deck and align it with scenery on the ground. We then scale the designer's renderings in the computer so that they hit the scenery at a 1:1 scale and paint the projected image onto the scenery.
