Thinking Outside the Black Box

Let’s play with set design! 🎨 Did you know theatre can do so much more than recreate realistic walls, living rooms, and furniture? Join us Saturday May 30th at 1pm for this free, all-ages, all-skill-level workshop exploring how colour, texture, shape, and symbolism can create a dynamic storytelling space.

Workshop instructor Lacey Oleson-Rinehart will guide participants through hands-on exercises using art supplies to discover how simple forms can create a complex effect. Together, we’ll explore how abstract design can evoke mood, suggest location, support movement, and spark audience imagination… often with a smaller budget and bigger impact than literal realism.

Perfect for aspiring set designers, directors, playwrights, and curious theatre-makers looking to broaden their creative toolkit.

Admission is free, with pay-what-you-will donations accepted afterward.
