KK Set

Escaping through Massacre River

For the very opening scene, we will take 3 triangles from School of Rock and cover them in blue fabric, to look like a river. They will be staggered across the stage, providing cover for the mom to put on “wings of fire” (just a costume piece) and emerge from the blood stained water. To show the blood from the massacre, we may add red fabric to the triangles.

The Home

The majority of the skit will take place in the home of the three girls. There are 3 “sections” to the house: a bedroom, a dining area, and a play area. To the left is the bedroom. This is where personal conversations between the Madonna and the mother take place. Stage right is the play area, where the Madonna interacts with Josephine. In the middle, the mother and daughter meet. The play area has a couch and some toys - worn, cloth dolls. The dining room is just a wooden table and chairs. We will use colorful blankets and set pieces to make each section look more abstract and bring attention to the “fire” aspect of the skit.

The River

A few times in the skit, the mother brings Josephine to massacre river to pray. The set for this will be very simple, bringing back the blue fabric to show the river. This time, there is no blood.

This is a rough collection of our ideas. It is not set in stone.
