if my roommate tells me “take a break from Hamilton” does this mean she is requesting me to play “Take a Break,” song number 26 of 46 from the Original Broadway Cast recording of Hamilton, an American Musical?

Today scenic design is taught and classified into two types… Box Sets & Unit Sets.
I would like to propose additional scenic design classifications (which can be viewed above and are listed below). Each week I will focus on a different classification. Now, some of these can be combined and it could even be debated that some of these “classifications” are the same but, by redefining the terms we use as designers, artists and theater practitioners we can further develop what scenic design is, can be and will be as the theater progresses.
Got a question, comment, thought? Hate it? Love it? Think I’m a fool? Got something to contribute? I want to hear from you! Let’s get a discussion going!
