Annie Get Your Gun
"There's No Business Like Show Business!"
The tempestuous and romantic story of Annie Oakley and Frank Butler

After seven years and 11 shows, this was my final production at Bialik High School. I wanted to go out with a bang, so I tried some things I hadn't tried before. Because the story of Annie Oakley and Frank Butler is shown as part of Buffalo Bill's show, I was able to play with the overt theatricality of the piece, and bring that to life through the caricatured set design. I took a naturalistic but dynamic approach to the lighting design - something where I could play up the "showy" bits but still keep the feel that this was all happening back in the 1880s.
