Radiunt Abundunt, a musical, world premiere at Triad Stage, Greensboro, NC, 2016
Written and Directed by Preston Lane
Music: Laurelyn Dossett
Set + Original Artwork: Anya Klepikov
[In addition to the scenic design, I created the paintings on behalf of the show’s protagonist, self-taught artist Tassie Laidlaw. In the story we find out that Tassie had set her family’s trailer on fire before “following the call” to paint and live alone in the Appalachian mountains. She calls herself Mother Radiunce, and her paintings, nailed to trees, are “sermons” through which she communicates the gospel of the Cathedral of Radiunt Abundunce. Tassie’s art environment is “discovered” by Karen, an art historian. When painting these I followed playwright Preston Lane’s indications of subject matter and Tassie’s particular spelling.]
