Goodspeed’s Space Constraints Bring Out The Inventiveness In Designers
Live Design: "Professional designers know what it is to come up with effects that work in confined spaces. But usually, when the wings are tight, you can fly pieces, or when there’s no fly space, you can make innovative use of doors, traps or turntables. One space where design is at a premium, but space is practically non-extant, is the Victorian-era opera house on the banks of the Connecticut River, home of Goodspeed Musicals."

Just as the Goodspeed's space constraints is bringing out the creativity of the shows it's putting on, it seems as if the modern economic crisis is putting a similar constraint on many theaters. So many of the articles seen on this blog as of late are of theaters finding new ways of fundraiser, and some going out of business. Even the museums (Artinfo.com - Museums Take Fundrasing to the Alter) and states (NY Times - Michigan Using Tax Incentives to Lure Film Studios)are looking for more events. But the Goodspeed is a good example of looking to the bright side. These constraints, both spacial and economical can help produce more inventive things than without.
