[SML] Stagecraft Digest Question about TERRA NOVA

Sun Aug 26 15:41:10 UTC 2018

We did Terra Nova at Chico State back in the mid 90s. The set was all 
miscellaneous sized decks with sacrificial surfaces, which were slathered 
with a mix of wallboard compound and glue, IIRC, which the crew spread with 
various texture trowels, then painted white. They may still have the sled, 
but I'm not sure. The TD who was there at the time has since retired.
Hth,
Steven R Hood
