Are you one of those people who studies the extensive list of names at the back of the Playbill when you see a show, wondering who they all are and what exactly they do? Then In The Wings is for you. Focusing on the people who are almost never in the news but who are essential to the making of the shows we all see and love, In The Wings explores the talents and stories behind the scenes, from the costume and scenic shops to the rehearsal room to the stage itself, with designers, artisans and craftspeople explaining their unique contributions to theatrical art in their own words. These short videos shine the spotlight on disciplines you may not even realize are a part of theatrical production and celebrate the full diversity of talent that contribute to bringing a show to the stage.

With:
Jason Edwards
Scenic Charge Artist Jason Edwards paints walls, backdrops, and props to create the visual surface details of a show's set. At the Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, Edwards works with each production's scenic designer and interprets their vision, using paint and a variety of materials. Each project brings unique challenges which he solves with a simple trial-and-error approach by creating samples. Here Edwards shows how he created a cinderblock surface.
This edition of In The Wings was made possible by the generous support of Billie Allen and Alvin Deutsch.
