This is a photograph of an actual historical house in Mississippi. This is what I envision Alma and her family’s home looking like.

This would be the perfect style home for John and his fathers’ practice. The office is located in the front of the house and the bedrooms are all upstairs. I like the contrast between John and Alma’s home because he has bold features such as the columns, the black shutters and the large scale in size. Alma’s’ on the other hand is small with delicate and detailed features.

This is what the rectory would look like. All of the towns meetings and gatherings are located here.

The blues were just becoming popular at this time period and many references were made about it throughout the play.
Dainty and beautiful enough to be the fountain where Alma and John spent a lot of time together.
Most of the play takes place outside at night. This picture displays almost a ghostly, as well as a Smokey feel.
