This first set is for when the Mother and the Madonna cross the river. The triangles that are being used for the School of Rock set will be repurposed and covered in blue fabric to represent the river. The characters will walk in front and behind them to show the crossing of the river. We are also thinking about having the Madonna come in during this scene, so she can possibly enter from behind one of these triangles.
This second set is for when the Madonna and the Mother bring Josephine back to the river to pray. There are only two triangles, one is covered in brown fabric to imitate the land and the other is covered in blue for the water. This meeting of the river and the riverbank allows the characters to interact with that setting as well.
This final setting is the house where Josephine, her mother, and the Madonna lives. It has the features of a meager one-room house where the poor family lives. An important set piece in this area is the dining table. This is because Josephine first learns the call-and-response monologue. There is also adequate space on the stage between the different areas of the house so for example, the mother and the Madonna can talk near the bed without Josephine 'listening.'
