This was for our recently spring musical 'Guys and Dolls' the student designed and built Hot Box set. The arch is accordion style built from luan and painted with Rosco Spectrum Red, Rosco Gold, and Rosco Velour black.

We started by cutting a three foot thick plain arch and measuring six inch increments around the arc. Then we took the center point and used a chalk line as a straight edge to mark the rays of the arch to make the accordion shape. The outer points were measured at a six inch slope while the inner points were reduce to a four inch slope.

all paint used on these set pieces for hairspray was Rosco Off Broadway paint

The production was Gee's Band, at Hartford Stage.
We used Off Broadway and Super Sats to create color bases and washes to go on top.
Isn't it pretty?

Rosco Off-Broadway paints were used to create this "city" drop based on the Brooklyn Bridge by Set Designer Brian Lehman and the Hempfield High School Stage Crew for our March 2012 production of "Thoroughly Modern Millie" It was painted, cut out, then scenic netting was glued in place to fill the voids.

This partially built mastodon skeleton was for a world premiere production of a play called "Etherdome". I first carved the leg bones, skull, and vertabrae separately out of a foam and then applied them to a steel and wooden structure. (The ribs were cast from another material.) I then coated them with two coats of Rosco's Foamcoat (with the first being cut with a little water). Before it was dry but had had a chance to set up a bit, I used different tools create various textures on the bones. Once dry, I sanded some areas smooth and then completed the paint.

There are a mix of Off-Broadway paints used here.

For a production of "The Exonerated" at L.A. Pierce College, the designer specified a plank wood floor. With our students, we created the look with paint.

Rosco SuperSat paints were used along with contact cement to create the dirty grimy effect on the sewer pipes. They were also used (in very thinned out quantities) to make the backdrop translucent.

The March 2012 Colby College Theater & Dance Department production of "Tartuffe" was painted almost exclusively with Off Broadway paints; including some metallic and acrylic gloss finishes. Scene painting was done by Designer/Scenic Artist Kim Powers; working with students from five different classes. Many different processes were employed, but for the flats, a multi-color spray was applied on to a smooth base, followed by cartooning, lining (paint, not marker), highlights and shadows.

For The Classic Theatre of San Antonio's production of John Guare's Six Degrees of Separation, the Director/Scenic Designer, Diane Malone, chose to represent many of the locations in the play as "art" in frames. The frames were mounted in floor to grid standards. The look desired was sleek and modern. Aluminium tubing would be ideal, but costly. She chose 2x2x1/16 steel tubing. To achieve the aluminium finish, she selected Rosco Off-Broadway 5385 Silver. The look was perfect. Photography by Dwayne Green.
