The Nerd
	Minnesota Repertory Theatre Directed by William Payne Scenic Design by Arden Weaver
	I felt it was important to communicate the locale of this house as an upstairs apartment. The neighboorhood was illustrated by rooftops, powerlines, and television antennas. The actors used an outside staircase to travel up to the apartment from below. Since the tenant is an architect, I provided the impression of small renovations of style such as the gabled window unit center stage. The fall season was communicated by a colorful foliage border as well as the loose leaves strung over the roof tops.
