Here's my original sketch for the set of the musical
Zorba, based on the movie,
Zorba the Greek. Very often, it's give-and-take on design. I had to give up the small arch on the right plus almost three feet of depth on the big arch on the left to give the dancers more room for choreography. The photo of the final set is below. The backdrop was painted by Susan Van Schaick, my talented partner and wife at the time. It was a good show at Neil's New Yorker Dinner Theater in Mountain Lakes, NJ.
Facts:The set for Zorba was a collaborative set design by Tom St. Laurent and S Van Schaick-S Van Schaick was also the scenic artist for the whole set. They were not married at the time. Design rights belong to himself, Tom N. St Laurent and S van Schaick.
