Too Fast to Fall was produced in the Mills Black Box Theatre at Coe College. It was my senior project in cooperation with the other senior theatre major. I designed the set and lights, as well as built and painted the set. The play was written by a Coe professor. Too Fast to Fall was a play that walked the line between reality and the fantasy made up by a woman suffering from dementia, a line I emphasized by saturating the stage with playful colors. I purposely chose light colors for the set so the reality vs. fantasy lighting would read more clearly. The light wall also played a huge role in defining this line as the old woman would sit and wait by the windows onto the balcony for Amelia Earheart to fly by and take her away.
