The gallery show was gorgeous–see the portfolio here and the short film of the opening here.

Ropes triggered a shipwreck; scales were weighed in the ButtonMan room; and the community saw a fraction of the costumes and conceptual artwork that went into the show.

Thanks to Joan Blackmer, Smith Gallery curator, and to Faye Crosby, provost of Cowell College.

The production is now closed, and we move on to our gallery exhibition. Huge thanks to everyone for making our show such a tremendous success. Since the whole run sold out by opening night, we understand not everyone who wanted to see it could get a ticket, but we are beyond grateful for the enthusiasm and support of the community.

The gallery exhibition will showcase our design work, media, and thought behind the production, so do come take a peek at the inner workings of Gyntiana…
