I also vote for the bare stage idea of imamember...and if you need to you can still build some walls or just put up a flat or two to block off some backstage area. Maybe just to cover the entrance(s.) Maybe you could just hang some fabric.

It turns out the Producer does indeed want to do the set, and sew some simple, grey curtains to cover the not-so-1984-ish stage.  Simple. 
 
About half of our budget is going towards publicity, but I think she's trying to cut that down.  I haven't worked on a budget end of theater so I'm not sure if that's normal.
 
I'm getting more optimistic.  The last meeting I had with the Producer and her partner she was beyond well organized, so I felt like I could focus more on the creative aspects and the technical will have to fall where they will, that seems to be out of my hands.  Any other directors find that to be a relief and yet so scary at the same time?  Dead

It's always scary when your vision is being put into the hands of others to realize.

I always keep my hand in, no matter how astute my administration is.

I have to force my hand in a bit.  It's an odd situation, they don't want the Director taking over but I'm not sure they understand how much creative license and influence I'm supposed to have either.  They want to vote and have a say in things...I'm trying to compromise.  It's not my town.
