Two Shakespeares for the Price of One

Now that “Psycho Beach Party” is done and I am over my hours, I am back to NVCC, where I will be sound designing two Shakespeare shows that are in rep over the course of a couple of weeks.  I’m excited to see some of my students starting to pick up Qlab over the course …

Psycho Beach Party (UNH)

This is my second semester at UNH, and we are about to open “Psycho Beach Party” – the first of our two shows for the semester (looks like I’m running out of hours this semester to get involved on the second show). One of the proposed design ideas was to have actual sand on stage…anyone …

Orange is the New Black

Greetings from Boston! I will be here for a couple of days working on an event that is a luncheon benefiting a women’s shelter called Rosie’s Place. I’m on Team Video, the governor and first lady will be here, and the keynote speaker will be Piper Kerman, the author of the book “Orange is the …

Being “Indecent” (at Yale!)

Hairspray, x2

“School for Wives”

After the Fairfield University gig wound down, I got a call from the University of New Haven to come in a TD their big spring show: “School for Wives.” This is really the first show I’ve had to oversee and build, on this level, by myself.  Most of my shows are tours, and when I …

It’s the Power of Love

Happy New Year!  Sadly, I still haven’t gotten to rest. But I just did an awesome gig last night with the Power of Love, a Huey Lewis and the News tribute act, at the Sinclair in Cambridge, MA. My job was directing the lighting while I mixed a video wall on the fly. We had …
