To use my design skills to help design the set of our community play in a way that best suits the play High School Musical and the specific needs of our production.
I will rely on the skills I have as a result of my study of various art and design subjects at a high school and university level.

Sets provide varying levels for actors, can express subtext and symbolism relevant to the play, provide physical script elements, help create visual interest for the audience and can help the audience to understanding the setting of play without having to be told.

Plans include a large space in the center to the front of the stage meeting the set requirements of open space. It can also be used as a classroom and a cafeteria with additional chairs and other items. The stairs and elevated platform provide varying levels for the actors and help to mimic the design of the movie sets. The wall at the front of the elevated platform allows for changes in decoration such as a wildcats banner in the gym or science posters in a classroom. The announcement podium is both practical to the script and can have a basket ball hoop attached.

Symmetrical staircases are used in multiple play sets (fig. 4 & 7) and in the movie cafeteria (fig. 1). The stairs also have a similar appearance to sport stands making them useful in the set of the basket ball court. The lecture movable lecture room seats in Fig.6 could provide both the aesthetic impression of stairs and sports stands whilst providing classroom seats.
Classrooms and cafeteria can be created through movable items such as chairs and tables as well as posters.
Front wall of elevated platform can be used to indicate setting changes as in fig. 4.
