Designing a costume is a long process which requires a lot of research and thought. For After the Quake, Sheila White compiled mood boards for each of the main characters in the show. Have a look!

FROG

JUNPEI

SAYOKO

KATAGIRI

TAKASUKI

SALA

after the quake is already getting a great response, and we’re 3 weeks from opening! Check out CBC’s interview with Richard Wolfe “Murakami’s Super-Frog to appear on Vancouver stage“, the Vancouver Observer, and Julie Burtinshaw’s blog.

The story of Frog, a giant creature who must battle the evil Worm that lives beneath a Tokyo bank tower, is shot through with humour, including the witty dialogue for which Murakami is famous.

The contest is now closed. @donforan is the winner, with the following haiku:

Tsunami nightmares

In the wake of disaster

Life after the Quake

Congratulations to @donforan, and thanks to everyone else who entered! We got some great entries — here are some of the runner ups:

-

The earth can move you

in some very special ways.

You must work with her!

Can super frog save

Vancouver theatre?

@avibryant

Rumble and grumble.

She stumbles from her slumber.

This morning she roars.

@acusack

Lost or forgotten

Memories of the earthquake

Conjured the great Frog
