A contemporary Manhattan penthouse shaped Rich Girl around privilege, polish, and emotional distance. At Okoboji Summer Theatre, the scenic design drew from luxury interiors and high-end real estate staging, using restraint to suggest wealth without clutter.
Open architecture, large window framing, sleek lines, and carefully selected furnishings gave the actors a space that felt expansive but exposed. A faux palm tree, later replaced by a Christmas tree, quietly marked taste, season, and time.
Minimalism became part of the dramaturgy. The penthouse looked controlled, but that control created distance around the relationships, letting emotional volatility play against a room designed to appear effortless.
