Lobby Display

Our lobby display before the first preview (2/27/13).[/caption] When we first discussed what we wanted for a lobby display, we decided we wanted something interactive that would help the audience feel connected to the stories and the process of our production right from the start. We ended up creating our own lost and found board where actors would come out to great patrons, explain a little bit about our project, and ask them to tell a story about something they've lost or found.   So far it's seems to be pretty successful.

One of the things that we've learn most from this project is that everyone has a story, we just need to take the time to ask and find it. Thank you to all of the incredible and unique people who have already participated. We can't wait to see what more stories you have to tell :)
