The Set Designer

The Set Designer takes a concept drawing or description from the Director and produces a detailed design. He/she must work in close
collaboration with the Lighting Designer and Master Carpenter, so that a feasible design is produced. The design must include color
choices, but it is not necessary to go into more construction detail than simple elevations and suggested ideas for construction. Most
of the Set Designer's work falls early in the production period, but a good designer will stick around to answer questions that the TD,
MC, LD, and SM come up with later on. This job mostly requires the ability to closely read a script to decide what absolutely must
appear on stage. Of course, the SM should be doing this as well and will definitely provide input. If the SD has not designed for the
group before, they will need at least one person experienced in CHP to inform them about the limitations of CHP (as far as what can
and cannot be done).
