Dramas & Comedies

A great deal of my career seems to have been spent convincing directors that walls for walls' sake are boring. Luckily for me, some of them didn't need a lot of persuasion. I always want to hone in on the details - those things that you remember about a place years after the wall mass is long forgotten. In the heightened emotionality of dramas, this can be incredibly effective and provide opportunities for Lighting to play a much more active and evocative emotional role. You will also see, I've come up with some successful traditional settings too. It's still all in the details!

Musicals & Opera

Coming from a background of "less is more," which early exposure to thrust and arena staging provided me, I have accepted the challenge repeatedly of staging large musicals in small spaces and working earnestly to burn them down to their essence while still providing some sort of visual, organic logic to the environment:
