For the world debut of MR. HOLLAND'S OPUS directed by BD Wong, I crafted these black-and-white etch work cut-outs.

These were made from lauan, pink foam, elastimeric, and paint markers. The shapes were jigsawed out of the luaun and pink foam.

This key was first designed and then 3D rendered so we could print half of the key. The key half was then molded so that two casts could be put together and be a whole key. Then the head piece was laser-cut by a Glowforge which was then inserted. The final step was a gold finish! There were 3 different keys that were built, but only one made it to stage. Designed by Gisela Estrada 3D Rendering by Miles Maline Glowforge Rendering by Henry Beard Mold/Casting by Becky Hicks

This is a production photo of the Altar Boyz of ALTAR BOYZ praying over the Bingo Wheel of Confessions. Inside of the wheel, there are confessions slips, "filled out" by the audience. The actors read scripted slips out loud. ALTAR BOYZ Black Hills Playhouse Director: Justin Speck Set Designer: Amber Marisa Cook Properties Designer: Becky Hicks

Before the show, the audience is invited to fill out these slips that I designed. They are collected in a collection basket, like church. Even though they are not actually put into the bingo wheel, it is fun for the audience.

After praying, the Boyz look to the soul sensor to see how the confessions affected the audience. ALTAR BOYZ Black Hills Playhouse Director: Justin Speck Set Designer: Amber Marisa Cook Properties Designer: Becky Hicks
