Are you one of those people who studies the extensive list of names at the back of the Playbill when you see a show, wondering who they all are and what exactly they do? Then In The Wings is for you. Focusing on the people who are almost never in the news but who are essential to the making of the shows we all see and love, In The Wings explores the talents and stories behind the scenes, from the costume and scenic shops to the rehearsal room to the stage itself, with designers, artisans and craftspeople explaining their unique contributions to theatrical art in their own words. These short videos shine the spotlight on disciplines you may not even realize are a part of theatrical production and celebrate the full diversity of talent that contribute to bringing a show to the stage.

Riccardo Hernandez
Scenic designer Riccardo Hernandez creates sets built from the text of a production, creating an honest space for actors and ideas to work within. Hernandez knew he wanted a career designing opera sets by age 10, went on to study at Yale with Ming Cho Lee, and later broadened his work to theatre. At Yale Repertory Theatre, he displays the simple yet aggressive set of Battle of Black and Dogs that reflects a cold inhuman world. Also shown is the seemingly collapsing set for the Atlantic Theater Company's Gabriel during the most important part of the production process - the technical rehearsal.
This edition of In The Wings was made possible by the generous support of Faith Stewart-Gordon.
