relate to the computer-style renderings I produce. I’m not a set designer per se, and my rendering skills are limited. So, I brought in an illustrator to handpaint large-format renderings from my 3D versions. George also has a local friend who does pencil sketches, and he took the same 3D versions and redrew them in that style so Bruce could get his head into one version or another. Bruce had a few, not very helpful comments, so we really didn’t know much more than before. At this point, we were getting close to rehearsals and we still didn’t have many answers or a set in construction. George Travis had to make 274

a decision, so we took the skeleton shape of our initial stage drawings, sans true riser fronts, which could give the show its own unique look. As has happened on every Bruce tour, the set really came together in rehearsals, which last about 3 weeks, thankfully. On my first tour, Born in the USA, we decided what we wanted scenically during production rehearsals, and then at the first show the production manager, Bob Thrasher, personally welded the entire thing together in the 2 days of setup we had before opening night. That’s how it went, tour after tour. So, this one was true to form.
