It’s been a very long time since I’ve blogged about stage design and this one is great. This month’s series is called, “Curtain Call,” so we knew we wanted to make it look “Broadway-ish.” My dad made the gold footlights to go across the front of the stage. When I was 12, I remember making marquee signs with cardboard and Christmas lights. I would poke the lights through the cardboard to spell out words. So we had a guy build some poster frames and drill holes for us. Then, we took mini bulbs and stuck them through (see pictures). Just like a real marquee but much cheaper! We brought back the red curtains from Heroes and swaggered them. The whole thing turned out real nice. And, we stayed within our budget of $500. Pretty nice for a medium-sized church! I love my job and the many people on the production team that helped make this stage a reality. Thanks guys!

You all did an incredible job. I love the pics, I am glad we are taking them for future reference when I am old and grey, (oh I forgot that already happened).
Anyway, way cool, and the responses to Christ during this series is even “cooler” - I love it when the irresistible environment paves a way for God to do what only he can do.

Freaking awesome stage setup! I love the colors of the purple lights with the deep red curtain and the gold footlights and marquee lights. Hard to believe you could pull off a look like that for under $500.
