Announcing Tech Direction's Mission Impossible Award Winner!
This year's "Mission Impossible" Award goes to an individual who defied the odds, who stared down technical nightmares and emerged victorious. Their ingenuity transformed what seemed impossible into a breathtaking reality...
And the winner is... Carlos Varela with The Coal Mine Theatre for his incredible work on CASE FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD! Carlos took on the challenge of building a glass sand wall that essentially worked like a giant Etch-A-Sketch. This kind of custom-built scenic element, using unconventional materials, requires significant problem-solving and an unwavering commitment to the artistic vision, Varela’s dedication to overcoming technical challenges truly embodies the spirit of this award.
Notably, Coal Mine Theatre states this was a hugely collaborative effort with a number of people including Anthony Allan and Lilian Adom!
Thank you and congratulations to Carlos Varela and the technical team at Coal Mine Theatre!
A huge thank you to everyone else who entered! Your innovative spirit and incredible talent made this year's competition truly remarkable.
Stay tuned for the next award season!
