Hero Props ::: Tumblr

Super happy with my new studio coffee pot. Found it at a thrift store still in the box, unused. Manufactured in small town Wisconsin. Doesn’t need filters. It’s like a church basement coffee pot adopted me, I love it. #studio #coffee #Presto (at Q.arma Building) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9UcJHqnnjE/?igshid=c32am0538zx7

Tightening up the shelves allowed me to add another row. #studio #organization #shelves #HeroProps #timelapse (at Q.arma Building) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8mEUcinUqZ/?igshid=fotii5js2235

I’ve been thinking about this show a lot lately as I set up my new studio. The first musical I propped at @publictheaterny was Radiant Baby, a show about the life of Keith Haring. In addition to replicating a bunch of his art (which we sadly had to destroy afterwards) I got to build those giant rolling shelves you can see in the background and dress the hell out of them, based on photos from his actual studio. I got to go nuts on eBay, buying duplicates of the tchotchkes that he had interspersed among the art materials, including a Pee Wee Herman doll, toy robots, and a bunch of Michelin Men. #inspiration #studio #stuff #HeroProps Props: @propboy72 Set Designer: @riccardo.hernandez.design Photo: Michal Daniel (at The Public Theater) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7O8SzXn9zm/?igshid=r017b880slv1

I could not have discovered this book at a better time, the week I’m setting up my studio. Beyond it’s educational value, it’s validating as all get out. It’s bizarre when you encounter a brain that’s an analogue of your own. Pretty sure there’s an alternate universe where we swapped and Adam stuck with theater in New York and I went into film and TV in California. Thanks for the reality checks, inspiration, and self awareness, @therealadamsavage. It could not be more appreciated.

Kevin Kline defeathering and butchering a chicken. Like he does. This was reference video we shot for the Public Theater's production of Mother Courage. But really it was about the fact that Kevin REALLY wanted to butcher a chicken.

Long lasting Energizers indeed! I found these batteries inside an old Kodak camera flash, where they had probably been since the 50's or 60's. Unbelievably, they still held a charge.
