During the 2022 summer, I attended the Glimmerglass Opera Festival as an Apprentice Carpenter. One of the shows I worked on was the children’s show “The Jungle Book”. This show was Tech Designed by the Apprentice Technical Director and built by the other Apprentice carpenter and I. It consisted of an 8-piece wood platform system, steel railing, and a painted drip.

I was responsible for building the platform system with the other Apprentice Carpenter, sending the finished scenery pieces to the paint building, and Loading them in the show for its first tech rehearsal. Below are the progress photos as well as the finished photos.
