Bryn Athyn College Service Day 2006: Set Construction

Bryn Athyn College Service Day is an annual event that takes place at the beginning of each school year. During Service Day students and faculty participate in various service projects. This year’s Service Day, on August 29, 2006, included a project to help with the construction of the BAC ROCKS! 2006 – Beatles tribute set that would be used for the upcoming performances in the Mitchell Performing Arts Center (MPAC).

The set, designed by MPAC manager Naomi Haus-Roth, was a replica of the rooftop on 3 Savile Row in London (see photo below) where the Beatles played their last ever live performance on January 30, 1969. Under the supervision of Naomi and Wayne Dansbury students and faculty began to work on different pieces of the set. Before starting to work the film from the Beatles performance on the rooftop was shown so that everybody in the crew could get a feel for, and a sense of the historical significance of the set. Below are photos from the Service Day construction of the set.
