2017 Show
Shown and created at State Fair 4-H building, fall of 2017, and 2018. These shows are to help build leadership and to help create a passion of theatre in the world of youth.
These two years of shows brought in a different image each year with 2017 being build with a large staircase, a grand handrail, many doors ways, a chandler, and gave it a marbled look.
In 2018 the theme was a candy factory with the building of a small stair case, three A frames, shelves that turn, a bookshelves oven, a candy sign, lollipops, candy drops, and a candy tumbler.
Vicky really was in touch with everything throughout these two years with the company not having a strong set of scenic designer, or technical director. So Vicky created the designs and sketches for all of the things on stage, as well as build the stage to allow others to prime and paint the set, when she added more detail.
