Good Friday look

Here's a sketch of what I'm envisioning for our Good Friday services.

The biggest hurdle we have is that we're holding Good Friday AND Easter services in the same room this year, so that means a potentially large turnaround getting set for Easter once GF is finished. What's more...we have a dress rehearsal for Easter at 9am the morning after GF, so the turnaround will need to be pretty fluid.

That in mind, I went with a more Halloween-esque look with the black cyc and drape suspended from ceiling trussing. This material would cover most of the Easter setup, so we'd only need to turn around one-half of the stage for the next morning. I'd like to prop some boxes under the material on the stage floor for candles and other small props.

The central element is a pending-construction cross (go fig). It's kind of a Two-Face Harvey approach with one side being the rugged, railroad tie wood texture; the other side being very clean, finished birch wood look. The idea is the rugged side would face the room for GF then be turned around to the restored look for Easter.

Some isolated par cans located along the proscenium would accent the texture of the fabric. Uplights at the base of the cross would accent the wood texture.
