Six shows to design in six weeks!

The rest of this season is going to get very interesting. I have three schools that I will be working with, that, between them, have six shows all opening in a six week window of time! This is a new challenge, but with some planning and workflow choices, I can do it. Some are bigger …

Shakespearean Sitcoms

This summer I’m working on three or four shows. But the one I’d really like to mention quickly is “Merry Wives of Windsor.” I’m teaming up once again with my good friend John Regis, whom I started working with on “Wizard of Oz” last Spring. We did “Fiddler on the Roof” with the 8th graders …

New theatre (for me) in NYC

Got a call to do a run of Wizard of Oz in NYC.  It sounded like a crummy warehouse show, but when I got there it turned out to be a nice little theatre at a prestigious school on the Upper West Side. Everyone is super nice, and I’m being given carte blanche to do …
