Monty Python's Spamalot
Scenic Design by Jim Hunter
​
This boat was designed for the entrance of the Lady of the Lake and Sir Gallahad in a spoof of the famous boat scene in Phantom of the Opera. I built the wagon and the decorative structure of the boat before handing it off to our scenic charge artist for paint.

Peter and the Starcatcher
Scenic Design by Bert Scott
​
This pair of identical trunks were a main focus throughout the play, as they got switched around between the heroes and villain. Each was created with a removable "skateboard" to allow them to be either stationary or mobile as needed. I built and painted the entirety of these, and they have gone on to be used in several shows since.

Hook slams this one shut every performance, so we ended up adding some reinforcement to the lid.

Base structure of the trunk. The bottom framing leaves space for a 3/4" skate to fit in for parts where they roll around.
