Two Gentlemen of Verona
by William Shakespeare
Directed by Carrie Baker
November 9-18, 2007
Scenography (Set and Lighting Design); Projections     Kade Mendelowitz
Assistant to the Set Designer:     Joe Alloway
Scene Shop Supervisor:     Leighton Nunez

For Two Gentlemen of Verona – scenic, lighting, projection designer
“I also applaud this production’s technical values. Kade Mendelowitz’s spare, functional set gives a sense of expansiveness, and it has a slightly art deco feel, in keeping with the play’s period and setting: 1937, California. Different locations are suggested by changes in lighting tones and across a screen at the rear of the stage are projected subtle visual cues.” Robert Hannon, Fairbanks Daily News-Miner
