a thrust type stage. I like this kind of state, because it is interesting and not a boring normal stage
where the audience just site right in front of the stage.
There will be a curtain in between each act/scene, to allow out backstage members to
change the background of the scene. I think that this stage type will be perfect audience. Out
backstage crew will have 60 seconds to change the background in between scenes. That should
be long enough to get the job done, and not bore the audience.
In between scenes, the curtains will close, and the backstage crew will rush out on to the
stage, and move all of the backgrounds and props around, …show more content…
I don't think that this should be at a high school,
because I don't think mostly just young people should see this play. I think st all people of all
ages should see this. I don't just want younger people putting their inputs, I want to know what
all different people thought of it of all ages. We will need many set pieces, we will need a bed,
mobile walls on wheels with different backgrounds, and a bathroom door.
We will also need Costumes, and a plant. I think that a plant is defiantly an important part
of this play. The plant is a big part of the movie, it is with the family in the beginning, and is with
them in the end, as they move out. and the book.
Costumes
What the characters wear in the play can definitely have a big impact on the mood of not

wear this outfit, because he is a businessman with a …show more content…
Mama is the head of the house, she is the head of the household. She is older, and also
doesn't work. She will wear black pants, normal black shoes, and a fuzzy purple shirt. She is also
a religious person, and will wear a silver necklace of a cross.
Beneatha is Mama's daughter, and the sister of Walter. She will dress nice, because she is a
college student, and thriving to be a doctor. She will wear nice black shoes, black dress pants,
and a grey dress shirt.
Casting Choices
Jimmy Hendrickson, my father will play Walter, my dad is white, but still is very similar
to Walter, he is a business man, and also argues a lot, but in a good way. Jennifer Hendrickson,
my mother will play Ruth, my mom is similar to her, she helps provide for the family, and is very
good at winning arguments. Isaac Hendrickson will play Travis, they both are just normal kids,
and they each share qualities.
My aunt, Jan Hendrickson will play Mama, they are both older, unmarried, and have
similar qualities of being head of the family. I would have Ms. Jackson play Beneatha, she
doesn't have the same personality exactly, but I think that she would be a great actor for
