When deciding on the Fine Arts Theatre as the venue, three questions were asked in the hope of creating the perfect stage. First, what type of stage would be best, and would it be large enough for the set as envisioned by the brilliant scene designer Jameson Skylar Lindsey? The Fine Arts Theatre being a grand example of a proscenium arch gave the LMRS production team a stage that would allow for the creation of this world pinned by Tennessee Williams as envisioned by Skylar and Maria Flores, the talented costume designer. Second, would this venue be capable of reaching the largest audience possible? The fresh producer Robert Rawls researched the Fine Arts Theatre to discover that with 545 seats and wheelchair access, this venue would be capable of reaching a large and diverse audience. Finally, the visionary director Lily Houston needed to know what this venue said about this production of //The Night of the Iguana.// This venue is a place that, along with the modernized setting, will be another asset of the director to highlight the dichotomy put forth by this play. This production will run for five shows over one weekend, with one Friday evening, and a matinee and evening show on both Saturday and Sunday. This weekend will be scheduled for a by-week in the Georgia Bulldog's game schedule to maximize the number of university students that can come. This is in hopes of introducing many younger people to both the writing of Tennessee Williams and the magical, ephemeral nature of live theatre. The advertisement campaign will be focused on campus locations, wide rage of distribution and newer mediums of out reach to maximize awareness of the production among the university student body.
