The 6.5-hour production by Theatre Âé¶¹Ó³»­´«Ã½ and <a title=\"Orlando Shakespeare Theater\" href=\"http:\/\/orlandoshakes.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Orlando Shakespeare Theater<\/a> (OST) is a massive undertaking, with a cast of 27 actors performing \u00a0100 scenes that take place in 40 distinct locations, so set designer Bert Scott had to think big.<\/p>\n<p>Scott, a Theatre Âé¶¹Ó³»­´«Ã½ associate professor, began brainstorming in March 2013 for ways to fit the expansive story inside the OST\u2019s 324-seat Margeson Theater.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe play itself is so epic that it needed a large space, but also the practical necessity of fitting all 27 actors,\u201d Scott said.<\/p>\n<p>The solution was to design a flexible set that had many entrances, exits and acting levels. And the actors use them all, from the platforms built into the seating area to the bridge set high above the audience\u2019s heads and the traditionally \u201cbackstage\u201d space behind the proscenium wall, which was removed for the production.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe action literally surrounds the audience and incorporates them into the world of the characters,\u201d Scott said.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the open space on the ground level, Scott included a rotating platform that he calls \u201cthe doughnut.\u201d This automated feature allows the cast and crew to quickly move furniture \u2014 and actors \u2014 on and off stage. Computer-controlled to accelerate and decelerate, the turntable was one of the directors\u2019 answers to rapid and tricky scene changes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe finished set really works well for the production,\u201d Scott says. \u201cThe cast easily adapted to it and audiences have been quite complimentary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For all of the pieces to come together for this ambitious play, \u2018Nickleby\u2019 required an assembled cast and crew of more than 100 professionals, faculty, graduate and undergraduate students and interns from both the Orlando Shakespeare Theater and the Âé¶¹Ó³»­´«Ã½. The partnership, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, was key to pulling off one of the most challenging productions in the theater world, and something for which Scott is grateful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe level of Âé¶¹Ó³»­´«Ã½ student participation in the process has been crucial to its success,\u201d he says. \u201cBy mounting this production in partnership with OST we have been able to provide valuable practical learning opportunities working on a professional level production for our students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby\u201d continues through March 9 at Orlando Shakespeare Theater in Orlando\u2019s Loch Haven Park.
