Fractured 

Once again I was hired to paint a backdrop for my friend who teaches at Howard Street Middle School in Salem. I always starts like this.... stuff in a hallway and inspiration on the walls. I had kids help me paint all the flats white.  I always start with a clean slate. We started by… Continue reading Fractured

Young Frankenstein 

I worked as the Associate Director on the Pentacle Theatre production of Young Frankenstein the Musical, directed by my friend Robert Salberg. I was assigned to block group scenes, track tech needs, and eventually, call the show and run sound effects cues. This show was a bit hard for me.  I am not usually around… Continue reading Young Frankenstein

Oklahoma! 

This year the winter play was Oklahoma!  This show has never been on my favorites list.... however, I may have to change my opinion of the show real soon.  This show was BEAUTIFUL... beautiful to look at... beautiful to listen to... beautiful to watch.  That is a pretty amazing feat considering the production was a… Continue reading Oklahoma!

Beauty and the Beast 

There is always something special about starting fresh on a new show.  This year, the fall show at Central High was Beauty and the Beast.  I didn't start completely from scratch because I had designed the show for CET over the summer.  However, I have more space and more materials to work with at Central… Continue reading Beauty and the Beast

This year was my third year working for CET (Children's Educational Theater).  It is the most intense job I have ever done.  I am the Tech director for the program.  As Tech Director I am responsible for… Continue reading CET 2014

The Seussification of A Midsummer Night’s Dream 

Once again I am painting a Seuss-type set.  I must say I am getting quiet good at painting Seuss... all thanks to my friend Robert Salberg who has a thing for all things Seuss.  This time his school was working on The Seussification of A Midsummer Night's Dream.  I believe his 8th graders were the… Continue reading The Seussification of A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Into the Woods 

My friend Jeff Witt came to me in February and wanted me to come up with a set idea that was "outside the box" for his spring production of Into the Woods at Central High School.  I thought about it and approached him with the idea of setting the show in New York City.  My… Continue reading Into the Woods

Les Miserables 

 From the beginning of January through the end of March of 2014 I had the pleasure of working on the production of Les Miserable performed at Pentacle Theater.  I was very involved in the blocking of the production.  The director, Robert Salberg, assigned me all of the large group numbers and most of the scenes… Continue reading Les Miserables

Willie Wonka 

I am finally getting around to blogging about the latest set I designed.  I worked on Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory at Central High School. This was a hard set... first, because I am not all that excited about the script... and second, because there are so many different scene changes.  I wasn't sure… Continue reading Willie Wonka
