Behind the Scenes of "Vigils"

One of the perks of joining Club Woolly is getting an insider look into Woolly Mammoth productions. In February, we got our members together and took them on a tour of the theater and provided them with a behind the scenes look at Vigils. Hana Sellars, our technical director showed us the green room, the scene shop, the back of the sets where the cast had scrawled notes to one another… Here she is demonstrating how we kept Michael Russotto in a box without actually having to keep him in a chest for the majority of the play. Hana showed us the ropes… literally. We got to see a detailed demonstation of how Naomi Jacobson and Michael Russotto flew, including rigging and stagehands. Naomi & Michael also talked about their experiences working on the show, how they got everything together and how they managed to fly without getting airsick. It was an unforgettable experience and a fun way to see how shows come together. If you couldn’t make it, you missed a great time!
