The musical that my school is putting on this coming spring is The Mystery of Edwin Drood. ScenoGraphics, the company that we traditionally get our design plans from, doesn't have any blueprints for Drood. We either have to make them ourselves, or have someone come in and do it and risk it possibly being really poorly done.

Does anybody know of any websites or anything like that which would have plans that you could order? Or has anybody put on Drood and has a few hints? ;)

Thanks!!

I googled the show to see if they had pictures from other productions. You can get an idea for set ideas this way. Try not to stress design, if you have done other productions, you can pick and pull the different pieces you need to create this production.

Take a look at these pictures I've found, hope this helps.
