Talley's Folly ~ Set Design

Paul had the opportunity to design a set for the Covey Center for the Arts down in Provo. The show is Talley's Folly and was being put on in the Brinton Black Box Theatre.The weekend we went down to dress the set everyone said they really enjoyed it and were so impressed that he was able to get such a 'full' set in the black box. The show was Talley's Folly written by Langford Wilson. It is a show about two older, single people living in the 1940's and the unlikely romance between them.

Last Saturday we had the opportunity to go and see the show and took Paul's parents and his sister, who just got home from her mission last Thursday. It's always nice to hear that people like your designs. Check out what the Covey center wrote about Paul's set here.

Katie Roundy from the Deseret News came and saw the show and had wrote this up..

The set itself is quite impressive. The weathered boathouse takes up most of the stage. In a creative fashion, the rest of the theater is painted to look like a river, leaving the audience in the water......
