Instructor Daniel Bennett may be new to Transylvania University\u2019s campus, but he\u2019s got ambitious plans for the theater department. Serving as the primary set designer and technical director, he discussed with me the set he\u2019s building for Transy\u2019s fall production of William Inge\u2019s \u201cPicnic,\u201d which begins Thursday in Little Theater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Bennett, who also was a stage crew supervisor for the Santa Fe Opera, two things seemed to be his biggest motivators: the students and the play itself. I asked him to explain more about both of these motivations as he takes on what\u2019s been described as \u201cthe most ambitious or biggest set\u201d that the department has completed in a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explains that for both \u201cPicnic\u201d and future Transy productions, he \u201cwanted to make sure the students have experience and pride in building big sets\u201d \u2014 something typically only those in larger institutions have the opportunity to do. Since late September when he began building, he\u2019s had about 15-20 students consistently working with him, and he\u2019s been able to monitor and push them and their progressing capabilities. His pride is apparent when he tells me that one day while building, one student stopped for a minute to tell him that they thought it was \u201cweird\u201d that they were creating this very large and realistic set, almost like they didn\u2019t know they were even capable of it in the first place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bennett also explains how the show itself pushed him to create a set like this, which depicts two worn and weathered houses and a yard between them. As I am unfamiliar with the show, he tells me that \u201cPicnic\u201d is a \u201creally strong female-led play, where the female characters are finding their identity, instead of what society has placed on them.\u201d It shows \u201cthe struggle of personal confinement felt by the characters,\u201d and he wanted the set to reflect that. Bennett also explains that no matter the size and intricacy of the two houses, they\u2019re meant purely to \u201cenhance the characters and their stories\u201d so as not to distract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s an ambitious set design, but one Bennett has convinced me was the only, and the right choice for this production. Come and be convinced yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see \u201cPicnic\u201d <\/em>from <\/em>Thursday through Sunday and Nov. 21-24. <\/em>Reserve tickets<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
