Rainbow Fish: The Musical

Picture
Scenic Designer
Anacostia Playhouse
April 2019

Artistic Director: Adele Robey
Director: Sisi Reid

I had a blast revisiting a story book from my childhood. Rainbow Fish: The Musical teaches kids the importance of inclusion and how being selfish and beautiful does not lead to a fulfilled life.

A bubble proscenium with images from the Rainbow Fish book invites the audience to enter a vibrant undersea world. On stage I wanted to create an underwater playground with many places for the fish characters to emerge from. Two rolling coral units, made from pool noodles and paper products (such as 6 gallon coffee filters and strips of red paper), slide off to the side to reveal the home of the Wise Octopus under a stone arch.
