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

You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown… Really! 

I directed my second show at Pentacle Theater this year... well... I guess it's my 5th show, but second show with me at the top of the list.  😉  I directed You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.  This was my second time directing this show (I directed many years ago during my college years).  I had… Continue reading You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown… Really!

CET 2014 

It's been a couple months... I guess it's time to catch up reports of shows I've worked on. 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

A Star is Born 

I was asked to design a concert/cabaret type set for the fund raiser for Pentacle Theater.  My friend Jeff Witt was the director.  When we originally talked the show was to be a Disney review.  A few weeks before it opened the show format had to change because they didn't have rights to the Disney… Continue reading A Star is Born

Crimes of the Heart 

I just wrapped up a production of Crimes of the Heart at Central High School.  Once again, I served as the Tech Director and Set Designer.  For this play I mentored my daughter, Hannah, as a Lighting Designer as well (I even had her draw her first light plot and learn some lighting theory for… Continue reading Crimes of the Heart

Finding Myself in The Secret Garden 

I had the extraordinary opportunity to direct The Secret Garden for the Pentacle Theatre, a local community theater in Salem. At first I wasn't sure about it.  It’s a big show.  It has very difficult music.  It’s not a well known musical.  However, I decided to attempt the show anyway with the encouragement of my friend Jeff… Continue reading Finding Myself in The Secret Garden
