Bert Boutin is a Prop Master, Armorer & co-founder of Lemonade Acre. His work lives in the details—small, tactile elements that ground the story in reality. On Measured in Thread, he developed the practical components that interact directly with the actor, ensuring each movement feels precise, safe, and believable. The effect is subtle by design—what’s happening is real, even when it feels impossible.
Trina Boutin is a Production Designer & co-founder of Lemonade Acre. Her work is rooted in restraint, building environments that feel lived in, controlled and quietly unsettling. For Measured in Thread, she shaped a confined basement world where texture, light and negative space carry the tension as much as the performance. Every element is intentional, leaving just enough room for the audience to lean in.
Together, Bert & Trina blend design, props and practical effects into a single, controlled language. On Measured in Thread, their collaboration centers on restraint and precision, where every detail is considered and nothing is accidental. The result is a world that feels intimate, grounded, and quietly tense—built to hold the performance without ever distracting from it.
