Experience Theatre Project presented Shakespeare’s light hearted comedy outside in the dog days of summer. The touring nature of this open air production presented two major challenges; everything had to be portable, light weight, and machine washable, while also being able to visually stand out in the busy outside world, with other stimuli competing for attention. I approached this through leaning heavily into bright and bold colors, which also helped serve to tell the differences between the people of Ephesus and those of Syracuse. The setting was anachronistically unhistorical, but not of this world, in a bright and bustling market center. I took inspiration from historical sources as well as contemporary fashions, while being careful not to lean too hard onto stereotypes.
