We set the story in the early 20th-century Italian mansion with the landscape of the Catskill Mountains enveloping the tent. The boundaries of the indoor and outdoor dissolve through an integrated scenic language of the wall, hanging flowers, Sicilian tiles and into the staging itself. The furniture and environment become active storytelling elements that support countless comedic moments through dynamic interaction with the performers and the audience.
Lex Sottile (The Overlook) - “Set Designer Patti Panyakaew created an installation-worthy floor of hand-painted trompe l'oeil mosaic tiles. She estimated that she and her crew spent 30 hours working with stencils and brushes."
