There's undoubtedly a lot more to be said about Scott Pasks's set than this short feature would suggest (more about those Mason jars, please!); but concision is good, and these pieces aren't written for nerds like me:

NYT:  In One Image:  Good Night, and Good Luck

Maybe this has been around for a while, but I just found it today. The Gypsy Tiny Desk Concert:

My favorite single scenic/prop element in the show ended up being this foreshortened bed for the Bridal Suite of the Hotel Venezia, built in extreme forced perspective — a last-ditch scramble in which my associate Kis and I stayed up all night to staple and hot-glue yards upon yards of donated fabric:

Below are a couple of other random behind-the-scenes photos:  the Hyde Park bandstand roof ("Isn't This a Lovely Day [To Be Caught in the Rain]") being hung; and the London and Venice hotel sets being painted:

(The two hotels are really the same set — London in Act 1, Venice in Act 2 — with some parts getting completely redressed, and others built to be reversible by spinning 180º, at intermission.  The upstage walls shed a layer of plywood "skin" from London, to reveal a different paint treatment — and two pairs of previously hidden French doors — for Venice.  A change of furniture, and of battery-operated wall sconces, from angular Art Deco brass fixtures to shell-like frosted glass ones, completes the transformation). 

Ah, summer stock...

You didn't, though, @DiveMilw !  It's not until this coming Saturday, June 7.

I know this isn't the point of the article or this thread but upcoming projects include:

a Michael John LaChiusa musical called American Eclipse.  

Hooray!!!!

I am sorry for the extreme tardiness of my reply.  I don't check out this thread as often as I should.   

The second image is the cast list from the CD.  It is a 2 CD concept album (? - not sure if that is the correct description) of the show by Lin-Manuel Miranda & Eisa Davis.

Dang it, I missed it.  Lost track of the days and didn't realize it was time.  I could have watched it last night too.  I've been streaming on Max quite a bit since last week and didn't see anything about it.  Poop.
