American Buffalo Set Design
Posted by Kevin Depinet on 11/11/2009(Rehearsals for our next production, American Buffalo, started last week. Set Designer Kevin Depinet took a moment to share some of his research for the show, as well as a model of the set it inspired.)
During the design process for American Buffalo, we visited several junk and thrift stores across the city. These two photos are of a junk Shop in Rogers Park called Lost Eras.
We liked this store in particular because it was partially in a basement and director Amy Morton really liked the idea of setting our play in a basement shop. The idea that these men existed in a shady little basement shop was of interest to both of us and ultimately became the inspiration for the final design.
