Xanadu.

Designed in conjunction with Columbus North Drama for their Summer 2021 production of XANADU.

XANADU follows Clio, the lovely and precocious Greek muse who decides to put on some rollerskates. legwarmers, and an Australian accent in order to help Sonny Malone, a chalk artist with half a brain and a heart of gold, rediscover his own creativity.

My Solution

To highlight this modern take on the groovy classic, I modeled this production’s assets off of the vaporwave art style. Along with this, I focused on including the musical’s classic iconography, such as the roller skates and disco ball.

The goal of this design was to incorporate a theming that both our teenage audience and older audience would enjoy.
