Proposal
Replicating The Apple One Computer Box
The project I am proposing is to replicate the original Apple One Computer box for the Broadway show “Nerds”. I got this job by being an apprentice to Faye Armon. I first met Faye at a Props summit located at the Public Theater back in August. She called me in December to help her with a show and loved my ethic and offered me apprenticeship for props. My Track is Technical Direction and lighting with a career goal of set designer. It will take me 1 month to complete this Project.
