SET DESCRIPTION

Ideally, the entire set would have a black box feel to it, preferably with a turntable to facilitate the changes. The show can be done without the turntable, I believe, and the changes can just happen in front of the audience. The sets include- bare stage to begin, an office with two desks in it, a park bench by a small water fountain, a bedroom interior, a resort room interior, and underwater in a pond.
