Treasure Island: Theater Set Building Workshop Series (November)

Build a real set for a real stage. Dykes with Drills and Bard Theatre are teaming up for a hands-on workshop where you'll join a small crew to build the set for Bard's production of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest.

You'll learn to build and assemble theatrical set pieces, use power tools the way a working scene shop does, and watch your work go on stage in front of an audience.

Bard moves Wilde's Victorian comedy to Thatcher-era England in the 1980s, drawing on androgynous glam rock, the New Romantics, and the queer and artistic subcultures of the time. Gender rebels, queer love, and plenty of shenanigans take over the historic Victoria Theatre in San Francisco this December.

Requirements: Participants must have completed Introduction to Tools or be comfortable safely using miter saws, circular saws, jigsaws, impact drivers, and drills.
