Set designer is a rather front-loaded prod staff positions. Take this into account when figuring out your commitments for this semester. Despite being front loaded, the Set Designer is still expected to attend all prod meeting as the set will affect blocking and it's important to be there to answer questions the director or others may have. (Note: For the fall show, to help address this issue, it is suggested that emails soliciting people interested in being Set Designer should be sent out by the beginning of August.)
Basics
The Ensemble performs fall/summer/IAP (?) shows in Little Kresge and spring shows in La Sala de Puerto Rico. Digital models of both places exist - for Sala go to ???? (old link is dead, poke... Jakob?) to Set Full.skp and for KLT go to https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_mEFC4XsoWmTdlxsAplu6cGjn0XIcrgK. See "semi-final deadlines" to see what to use these for! A quick note, apparently the pipe between 8V and 9V in Sala mysteriously isn't there.

Once the final set design has been presented at a prod meeting, it should be sent out to the show list and posted to the show dropbox/drive/other public storage option. All future updates should also be sent out and uploaded. Make sure that when you send it out and upload, you include dimensions that allow the space to be taped out, and that you include multiple file types. For example, ASMs will need an image/PDF of the floor plan they can easily pull up, but a lighting designer may appreciate a 3D model.
Curtains: the curtains should be planned in advance of tech week, and ideally in advance of the final lighting design. They will be competing for pipes with backlight. Particular attention should be paid to the curtain plans if the set is at an angle with regard to La Sala.
