Joining the Scene

“I was an actor as a child and through high school. A year into college, while acting in a show, I met the technical crew and was asked to help with another production. One show led to many, and I quickly changed majors to theatre production and never looked back.”

Setting the Stage

“Theater is a collaborative art. Set design is the foundation for a story to exist within. A good set design will capture the logical and emotional connections associated with the story. Good design comets the illusion for the audience.”

An Art and a Craft

“Building scenery encompasses carpentry, painting, upholstery and metal fabrication. Lighting design is a mix of art and technology using color and shadows, electricity and computers. Making sound come from the speakers is a craft, but choosing how much cricket is in that midnight sound cue is an art.”

Ideas Take Form

I like the challenge of the puzzle that each production presents. We take abstract ideas and turn them into tangible things. We are storytellers, teachers, artists and craftspeople. I love the variety and imagination.”
