Eva Peron's Microphones

Using found items, I constructed a simple press-conference-style rack of vintage microphones. These are just scraps of random metal parts like lighting fixtures, motive candle holders, and tin can lids. The first row of the audience is 40 feet away, so I am counting on distance and imagination to smooth out any imperfections. (Click to enlarge).


After this first test, I decided to trim 6 inches off the height of the microphone stands to compensate for the steep sight-line from the front row of the audience up to Eva on the 10 foot high balcony. In other words, the mics were blocking her face! By the way, Katie, our second Evita, is sitting there watching and waiting to run the scene herself. (We double-cast the title role).
