Here’s a video replay of this month’s Society of Properties Artisan Managers’ S*P*A*Minar. In case you missed it, or would like to rewatch it, here’s the link to rewatch this S*P*A*Minar:
S*P*A*M welcomed S*P*A*M member Jay Lasnik, Props Supervisor and Props Teacher at Penn State University School of Theatre. Lasnik talked about some of his favorite prop builds over his 30+ year career and discussed his process of building props from design presentation through opening night. He shared how he and his crew of Penn State prop artisan students have built props for such shows as She Kills Monsters, Angels in America, and Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime.
In this S*P*A*Minar Replay, you can find out how Lasnik and Penn State students in his props shop built a 6’ talking eyeball, 3’ tall magic mushrooms, an angel with a 18’ wingspan, lightweight (but strong) light-up boxes, life-size bull puppets, and half of a dead dog!
Jay Lasnik is a long time Contributing Writer for Stage Directions magazine’s Answer Box column.
