The Seagull was produced on the University of Denver Theatre
Departments proscenium stage. For this production audience
risers were built on stage. They were arranged to produce a 20'
by 20' corner stage.
The set for The Seagull consisted of a set of lattice
work frames. The production was conceived as a modern day version
and a new translation was used. The styles of the lattice work
covered approximately 150 years of decorative arts.
The lighting was based on 9 basic lighting areas. Each area was
lit 3 instruments. These three lights were placed at a vertical
angle of 40 degrees. They were spread approximately 100 degrees
apart.
