Sandy's Staging Preferences

Sandy seemed to really love the more traditional comedia dell arte and I think that's where her heart was.  She loved staging plays in front of houses and buildings that provided the scenic backdrop.  She would scour the neighborhoods wherever she was to find a perfect tudor looking house and so on to be used as a living stage set to help set the atmosphere of the historic work being presented.  Just as it was done in the old traditional days of comedia dell arte. She also insisted on costuming being as authentic as possible for the play being presented and had a friend who did her costume sewing.
