Othello Play Group

Originally, Alexa wanted to do Othello as a reality TV show, such as the Bachlorette. However, Jai and Mark wanted to play specific characters. I'm glad she decided to go a different route because the police academy idea really focuses on the power Iago wants in the play. I'm not sure what I want to do as production designer, but Alexa and I have worked out the costumes and hair. We will mainly be in street clothes for most of the production, except for pant suits for the opening scene and hair will be pinned back or simply put up. Alexa wants to go for a "Law and Order" atmosphere, which is a show I don't watch. I don't mind this, but I probably should watch the show to get a better idea of where she wants to go with this production. I think after rehearsals and seeing the stage, it'll come together to be an interesting experience.

Good and informative report. I received an email from Charlie yesterday. She has some good suggestions about how to make the design elements easy to create. I'll read the email in class on Monday. It sounds like things are going well and that Alexa is taking charge.
