Bar Tables for Hedwig and the Angry Inch
An extension of the set, these tables were front row seats for audience members for an intimate production of Hedwig. Grime, “spills”, and graffiti were added to make them feel like they belonged in a dive bar (without any real stickiness). Embellished with carving, markers, paint, sandpaper, Mod Podge, and glue.
