This required the fabrication of a steel span to withstand the load required over the minimum span. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665e2e0c14104c52c0288070/f9e9ff7e-0995-479e-a4b7-57e6964398ce/IMG_6410.jpg Project Management - Technical Direction - Anything Goes (NMU 2024) The Trundle Bed in its closed testing position. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665e2e0c14104c52c0288070/6bf65a7e-01b4-4a19-979d-6fac5bd233cb/AnythingGoes-178.jpg Project Management - Technical Direction - Anything Goes (NMU 2024) Flanking the Trundle bed unit was another hidden bedroom with a tracking Bed unit designed and implemented by my student Assistant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665e2e0c14104c52c0288070/c43de60d-0e4d-48f4-9df4-e4c9b963d149/AnythingGoes-391.jpg Project Management - Technical Direction - Anything Goes (NMU 2024) Arguably Anything Goes' most iconic scene- the 3 wedding finale showcasing the Boat Set design in its entirety. https://www.braedeningersoll.com/work/technical-direction-clybourne-park-nmu-2023 monthly 0.5 2024-06-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665e2e0c14104c52c0288070/d3e295d7-30b5-4d83-84a9-470729974ddb/Copy+of+Clybourne+Daily+-+October+13%2C+2023.jpg Project Management - Technical Direction - Clybourne Park (NMU 2023) Out of sight is out of mind!
