Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to provide research, supporting paperwork, production
photographs, and other materials that document the scenic design process for The
Cunning Little Vixen by the University of Maryland – College Park, Maryland Opera
Studio. This thesis contains the following: scenic research images that express the
play, and location, and inspiration that helped develop a common emotional
vocabulary with the production team; preliminary sketches; photographs of the ¼”
scale model; a full set of drafting plates and paint elevations used to communicate the
design to the technical director and the paint charge; a prop list with research
supporting, in detail, what is needed for hand props, set dressing, and consumable
pieces for the prop master; and an epilogue of the continuing transformation of this
production due to the unforeseen circumstance of COVID-19.
