The document summarizes the set design for a 1950s Americana diner that will be used in a play set in a box theatre. Key elements of the set include a large window on the back wall to show the outside weather, worn checkered floor tiles, brown bar stools and tables, vintage advertisements and a jukebox to set the 1950s time period. Two side walls will be eliminated to fit the black box stage, and props like the bar, refrigerator and cabinets will be rearranged along the back window wall.

Box theatre To promote realistic feel To allow the audience to feel the emotions of each character with a greater magnitude
There will be one large window on the back wall of the set to display the outside weather The view of the weather outside will help reflect the conflicts inside the dinner as well as the resolution
50s Americana Diner. Simple yet comfortable Like the image below but with more muted colors. The walkway in between the bar and tables will be wider.
The tiles will be checkered light brown with yellow. The floor will be visibly worn, midly shiny, with scuff marks from years of use. The seat covers will be a light brown/brown color The bar will have newspapers, sugar packets, and other typical diner items
On the walls there will be coca-cola signs as well as other classic 50s propaganda. There will be one old jukebox near one corner to re-affirm the time period for the audience.
The set suggested by the playwright will be used. The two side walls will be eliminated because this will work better with in the black box stage . The all of the props outlined in the play will also be placed in their corresponding place. Note: Because the two walls will be eliminated the bar, refrigirator, cabinets and sink will be moved to be in front of the large window along the back wall. Therefore the benches and magazines will be moved to the left hand side.
