Props, set and costume elements for "Angels in America"



Nearly Naked theater is producing both parts of "Angels in America" to round of its 16th season.  We created a number of elements but by far the most exciting was to create the angel's wings.  They were to operate using a bunraku style puppetry technique with one stage hand on each wing.  Here are some pictures of  the wings in process and a video of the test run on the completed set of articulated angel wings.











Another success for this production was our angel statue that remains on the stage for the entire production and is the center piece for all scenes in central park.  It is of course meant to represent the Bethesda Fountain statue.
