For the party scenes, we bought plastic wine and champagne glasses to fill with glitter glue, Mod Podge, and paint for the different liquid looks we were trying to achieve. We didn’t have any horderves already made, so with inspiration from Dolce&Amaro, a bakery in downtown Greensboro, I replicated the look of fruit tarts, puff pastries, and macaroons. The main components of these desserts were created from model magic and a wire brush for adding texture. Salt dough, newspaper, masking tape, and paint were also required.
I made binoculars from two sizes of cardboard tubes, black duct tape, tie line, and plastic tube caps. The “Just Married” sign and the “Kennedy Family Tree” were made from poster board and a sharpie to keep with the cheap, DIY feel of the nightclub scene. The “Kennedy Family Tree” was inspired by the recent Broadway rendition. The five lavalier microphones needed for the interview scenes went through three renditions. The style for that time was a lot clunkier than the director had envisioned, so even though they weren’t quite accurate, we decided on a smaller design without any wires attached and a perpendicular clothespin instead of the parallel pin.
I helped with the Greensboro College department's show photography. To see more show photos from "Merrily We Roll Along" and other collegiate productions, click below.
