Clue: The Musical, TD & Scenic Designer, Theatre West, Scottsbluff, NE
This musical is based off the well-known board game, Clue. I wanted the props and scenery to look like they were part of a life-sized game board, complete with the back of the box as the backdrop and the floor with grid marks intended for pieces to be moved. To create the rooms, I used four-sided periaktoi, when combined would become a given rooms of the mystery game.
