For The Merry Wives of Windsor, directed by Jamey Grisham, I embraced a 1950s sitcom aesthetic, drawing inspiration from mid-century modern architecture to create a vibrant and dynamic set. To manage the play's multiple locations, I designed colorful, flying doors in red, yellow, green, blue, and violet, allowing for seamless transitions between scenes. The green door, paired with a circular green wall portal and strategic lighting, transformed into the forest setting, adding a whimsical touch to the production. This approach not only facilitated smooth scene changes but also infused the stage with the playful energy characteristic of 1950s television comedies.
