Design in theatre can take many forms, including costumes, lights, sound, props, and sets, among countless other examples. Setting the Stage celebrates the myriad ways design is employed in stage productions. Using objects on loan from Chicago theatres, this exhibit emphasizes the diversity, depth, and breadth of theatres in the city and explores how words are translated by designers into a production.
