THE PLACE
- Scene I. The building place of the Ark.
- Scene II. Mount Ararat.
The Ark may be built on a framework of wood, covered with cloth to represent a child's toy. Bright colors are preferable, such as gray and scarlet. Or the Ark may be cut out of wall board. A door on hinges must be cut in the side, also a window. A gangplank may lead up to door. If the play is given indoors, a blue back-drop may be used against which colored lights may be thrown, to indicate storm. If given out of doors, a blue, smiling sky is always desirable.
Thin tarlatan may be cut in the shape, and painted to represent the rainbow, and stretched on a curved bit of wire.
