The Pope and The Witch was produced on the University
of Denver Theatre Department’s proscenium stage. The proscenium
arch is 24' wide and 14' high. The grid height is 20' and there
is approximately 6' of wing space on both sides.
The Pope and The Witch set consisted of a pipe frame which
thrust through the proscenium arch. Attached to this frame were
a set of double sided flats. These flats worked to create an
In-One acting area downstage of the proscenium arch. This created
the set for "A Corridor in the Vatican." The flats
folded and rotated in different ways to create "The Pope's
Apartment" and the "Drug Rehab Center."
The lighting was based on 9 basic lighting areas. Each area was
lit 6 instruments. The six lights were a low front light from
the balcony rail (primary blue, R80). A front light (lilac, R55)
and two side fronts (medium bastard amber, R04, and booster blue,
R62) from a house batten. In addition there was a high side light
from stage left (light amber, R16)) and a back side light from
stage right (salmon pink, R31).
