May 1998

Tartuffe was produced on the University of Denver Theatre Department’s proscenium stage. For this production audience risers were built on stage. They were arranged to produce a 20' by 20' corner stage.

The Tartuffe set consisted of 4 large pictures which had fallen out of their ornate frames. These pictures provided the raked acting levels for the show. Additional picture frames surrounded mirrors which often reflected the unfinished back of other frames. A few additional picture frames surrounded three-dimensional still lifes which were occasionally used as hiding places.
