I love this set design because it looks like the hall is inside a cardboard gift box.
The risers took took me down memory lane– I really enjoyed being in choir in school. And during those years Christmas was filled with choral music and performances. WhenI was no longer in a choir, it took a moment for me to feel like it was Christmas without.
Thus, when the idea came to me that a parody of “Stupid Love” would include changing Gaga’s lyric, “Higher! Higher!” to “Choir! Choir!”, I had to make this moment happen. And, it was so much fun. The credit really goes to my brilliant husband, Jared R. Pike’s wig & make-up design, as well as directing me in creating a 16 person choir of fun characters.
