The Arts in our public schools are disappearing at an alarming rate. The town next to us has cut the vocal program from their class schedules. The schools in my town have moved to offering ½ of the music program they had a few years ago. They don’t offer a theater program. The only theater… Continue reading Ways Being a Theater Major Set Me Up For a Successful Life
Once Upon a Mattress was an adventure! I drew out a basic plan, got director approval and went to work! The first step was to make more flats. I need something light enough to fly. I wanted to fly a giant 20x20 foot wall. This was going to by an adventure for sure! We brought… Continue reading Once Upon A Mattress – CHS 2013
Back in October my friend, Robert, ask me to design Suesical the Musical Jr. for his middle-school class. The set needed to be easily moved... they practice in a gym and then perform on a stage. They do not have time to "build" a set because the stage belongs to the high school. Kids need to be… Continue reading Seusical the Musical – Howard Street Middle School 2013
I came home from Seminary a few months ago and quickly became a little confused. John was still home. He left a message on Facebook that I had the day off. My response was, “I don’t think so. I've got responsibilities.” But I went with it. John had arranged for Kimber to hang out with the little… Continue reading Attend the Tale…

Such a literary powerhouse long before Alain Boubeil and Claude-Michel Schonberg wrote their musical based on the story in 1980. I fell in love all over again. This time with haunting melodies and an exquisite score. I loved it… Continue reading A Masterpiece of Law vs. Grace

We also made "coral" that moves into place with the help of sea creatures. We… Continue reading Little Mermaid
The Park play rehearsing in the gym at Howard Street Middle School. Performing in the Bush Park. A new acquaintance designed and made the costumes. She is amazing! Kids and volunteer parents made the crazy flowers we hung on the back. The park stage was a little smaller than we thought, but the set adapted… Continue reading Set Designs for the Summer CET 2012
Last night I enjoyed the latest production at Pentacle Theater. If almost non-stop mirth of the belly laugh variety mixed with a few tears in a heartwarming loony family setting rings your entertainment bell, then I urge you to spend two hours eavesdropping on the happenings at the Gianelli home on stage in the next… Continue reading Theater is Live and Well at Pentacle Theater
