castle in the sky

In my time with the show on its opening weekend — “Castle in the Sky” runs trough Nov. 30 — I opted to get a glimpse into each character’s storyline rather than sticking with one performer for the evening.

“Castle in the Sky” is designed so that guests follow certain actors from room to room during an Oviatt-hosted party.

“It’s an eat-the-rich story,” says Tracy Phillips, one of the three principals with Under the Rose productions, of which the self-funded “Castle in the Sky” is its first show.

“Castle in the Sky” is set during the Prohibition era, when Oviatt was at the height of his power and social prominence.

“Castle in the Sky” probes what kind of temperament it takes to create such a space, one equally dedicated to socializing and a flaunting of wealth with fragile accouterments — those etched windows came courtesy, for instance, of famed artist Rene Lalique.
