KATHERINE'S COLORED LIEUTENANT

GEVA Theater Center - 2015
DIRECTOR:David Schweizer
SET DESIGN:Caleb Wertenbaker
COSTUME DESIGN:Amanda Doherty

Production Photo

Under the taut direction of David Schweizer, the storyline is heightened with atmospheric sounds (planes flying overhead), lighting and an impressive, homey set by Caleb Wertenbaker that includes a veiled curtain that serves as a backdrop for news clip reels and real wartime action from the home front.
-Marcia Morphy, The Democrat and Cronicle

The set design is also a stand out. Caleb Wertenbaker (scenic design) and Emily Stork (lighting design) have created a masterpiece. Antique and almost whimsical, desks are stacked upon tables stacked upon dressers, with piled paper on shelves and fabric shooting out of drawers. On the opposite wall, gaudy fabrics and lace fuse into open books, which become wallpaper, and like a wave, the feeling is that it's all about to crash. The same wall becomes a screen for a projector through various scenes, adding another layer of rich complexity...
