Theatre in A Box

Willkommen, Tumblr, my name is Michael. This blog features my set recreations of Broadway shows, random artwork, stage makeup, and Starbucks cup art. There's lots to see, so be sure to check the archive and enjoy!

Hello my wonderful followers! I have not made any posts in awhile because I've been very busy working on my first ever large-scale design! Here are some photos from my design for Our Country's Good, by Timberlake Wertenbaker at my college Marymount Manhattan. I am very pleased with how it turned out! Now that it is done I hope to get back to my set recreations until my next design! As always thank you for your support.

Hey lovely followers! Because of school I haven't had any time to do more sets, HOWEVER! I just made an Instagram account for my New York photography. So if you want your daily dose of the greatest city in the world, head over to Instagram and look for enterthedreamers Thanks friends 😁

Alright my lovely followers, That's it for now! I'm getting ready to go back to New York tomorrow to get ready for my second semester. Thank you all for all the notes recently, I really appreciate it! I'll try to keep this updated with some more Starbucks cup Art like before and next semesters original designs. Thank you all again! I seriously can't tell you how much it means! I was told this blog would never "make it" and people used to laugh at the fact I spent my high school weekends doing this hobby. Well 1,000+ followers, having been told by Playbill that they've seen the blog in their office and the occasional message from a follower makes me feel pretty damned accomplished. Best Michael

The last of my original designs I'm going to upload, this is my design for August Wilson's Fences.

My design for Woyzeck by Georg Büchner. I loved this play a lot and wanted to give it this bleak stone backdrop that could be lit with colors like the Expressionist painters, a stage deck that sloped down into the river so he was constantly losing his footing, as well as reeds that could sway in the wind when he hears voices
