Spring Awakening is an event to benefit The Summer Theatre of New Canaan (STONC.ORG) The Summer Theatre of New Canaan enriches local communities with a professionally produced theatre experience, providing exciting performances for multigenerational audiences as well as learning opportunities for many of the region’s talented performers and technicians who work along side professional performers and production staff. Check their site for the upcoming free Shakespeare & Summer season at Waveny Park. The event features 20 leading Interior Designers at Le Beau Chateau. Each Designer created a table top room vignette inspired by various Broadway shows. I was thrilled to be invited to photograph the press event and found some great inspiration! Not only for decorating but also to create some cool wedding details. Public viewing is from May 13-16th. There is so much talent under the roof of this incredible mansion which, by the way has not been opened to the public in something like 57 years and is situated on a 52 acre estate in New Canaan. Check out STONC.ORG for tickets!

My apologies to the designers who I did not give credit to. I either didn’t get the chance to meet you in person or haven’t seen the Broadway Show that you were inspired by.
