Question
Hi my high School is putting on a Black and White theater production to look like an old move in Blake and White. and was wonder if you could tell us what to do in turning are stage to black and white for the play.

Answer
The only time I've seen this done was at the Shaw Festival in Canada this year, in a design for "Mack and Mabel" by Jock Munro.
Mr.Munro might be able to help you; contact him through the Shaw, or through the National Arts Centre in Canada, where he is Associate Artist in Residence.
Good luck with this ambitious idea!
