Set design (also known as scenic or production design) is an important part of almost any theatre production. The primary function of a set, of course, is to provide the audience with some context for the play, but it can also be a chance to create something stunning to draw in the audience.
Meet NAVROZ DABU, Scenic Designer for A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM. By day, Navroz is an Architectural Designer/Project Architect, and holds a Masters Degree in Architectural Studies from MIT, but by night he brings his talents to stages throughout central New York!
His recent designs include, CNY Playhouse’s Flowers for Algernon and Melagrana (2017 SALT Award), Baldwinsville Theater Guild’s The Elephant Man, Jeff Kramer’s The Golden Bitch, Syracuse Shakespeare Festival’s Noises Off and The Giver for Auburn Players (2017 TANYS/BMI design competition’s Best Overall Design Award). Previously Navroz designed Witness for Prosecution, Laughter on the 23rd Floor, Death of a Salesman, Reservoir Dogs, Inherit the Wind, Spamalot and Hamlet Cha Cha Cha (2013 TANYS Festival Award), Taming of the Shrew, ‘night Mother (TANYS Excellence Award and ESTA Festival Award) and Hamlet.

Navroz describes his experience designing the set for this weekend’s show…
In the world of exploring art, sometimes planets Align almost perfectly , and an abstract art dream , becomes a setting for a stage play. This was one of those times when my imagination and painting of a fantasy forest , created for Director Daniel Stevens, came alive on the Bisgrove Theater Stage of Cayuga Community College , executed by Bob Frame with his amazing skills, talents and patience, leading a team of volunteers of Auburn Players Community theater for their production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
The Auburn Players 3rd Annual Literary Series production of William Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” Feb 15 – 18 at Cayuga Community College.
