Davidson Theatre Students Paint Mural at willow ridge THERAPEUTIC riding
Willow Ridge Therapeutic Riding offers equine therapy serving individuals from those with physical disabilities through those on the autism spectrum. They have both an indoor and an outdoor riding facility to be able to offer these services in all weather, year round.
Davidson Theatre was asked to put some our scene painting skills to work and paint a large mural on the barrier surrounding the indoor facility.

Still a work in progress, the process began in mid November by projecting the outlines of the mural background on the barrier.
UPDATE (12/5/15): We began to fill in that background with color. Soon the background will be complete and we can begin adding horses, trees, and other scenic elements.
UPDATE (12/12/15): On the third day of painting, students from both Darby and Bradley's theatre troupes joined us! Thanks guys!!
UPDATE (5/21/16): It's finished! It took 5 days of painting, but we finally finished all 1400 square feet!
