Here are some suggestions for your setting scenes:
Scene 1 & 3: School auditorium - Use the same basic set up of chairs, podium, tables. For scene 3, add some mess/disarray like papers strewn about to show things are chaotic.
Scene 2 & 5: Forest clearing - Use a modular forest backdrop and trees. Add a stump, rocks. Make props like the oven portable so they can be used in either clearing scene. This keeps the forest consistent while allowing flexibility.
Scene 4 & 6: West's castle - For these short scenes, suggest minimal props like a table and crystal ball rather than a full set change. Describe the castle atmosphere verbally.

Scene 5: ● Candy’s Cottage/Clearing in the forest ● Oven, “House”, rocks, forest scenery ● This is the scene I referred to in scene 2, having trouble figuring out if I want everything to be mobile and change it or have scenes in different parts of the stage Scene 6: ● West’s Castle ● Same as scene 4 ● Still have the dilemma here where I don’t know if I want to dedicate a whole set change to this Scene 7: ● West’s full castle ● Cage, some way to distinguish this is a castle (this is my most troublesome scene) ● I want to have it like a medieval castle in the simplest way possible, if that’s not too much to ask. I was thinking of some panels like jakes that change to have different scenes on them, but I’m not fully in love with that idea. Scene 8: ● School auditorium (same as scene 1 and 3) ● (same as scene 1) but sort of “revived” like order has been restored
