True to their creative natures, Bradford Rosenbloom and Evan Wilmes bring their unique artistic perspectives and an immersive audience experience to the stage to produce Constellations. Wilmes serves as Director and production designer, with Rosenbloom taking the stage as Roland. In addition, Empty ( ) Space Company will bring back the talents of sound designer KC Luchsinger, and lighting designer Julie Seitel, who return from their work on Red and Middletown. Chris Naro (an experienced, well-known drummer from Bozeman) will also return from Middletown with an original score for the production of Constellations.

The play unfolds in an artfully conceived cube, designed and constructed by Wilmes, who describes it as “48 scenes (or scaffolding of universes) in front of the audience with multiple angles of vision, which creates an experience for the audience, as if the play were written in front of them versus being viewed by them.” With a background in philosophy, humanities, and English Literature, Wilmes layers his art and design work with concepts and implications beyond expectation, and this deeper connection with meaning facilitates design construction that could arguably become a character of its own.
