On the Subject of Maquettes

As I've said, a Maquette is French for a working model. I've made dozens of them in my career, some quite detailed. Usually to sell a project to a Producer or a Director who's imagination was...well, let's say... Limited.

Not so this one. This is a not-to-scale model I've constucted out of bits of wood and cardboard to approximate the stage area of the current venue of the  HIP POCKET THEATRE.

In order to write and subsequently stage the production I will attempt for them next season, I made this model so I could envision sightlines and settings. I am, after all, 600 miles away from the source....
