A Sound and Video Production Company
The director chose this as an ensemble piece. It was for tech, too! February has fallen into a pattern over the past few years. It’s when things start picking back up from the quieter January. The gradual changeover between maintenance, and repair throughout the theatre leading into prep for my usual season of shows coming …

New sound design samples are posted, having added selections from the last couple of shows this month.
After last Spring’s insanity, we escaped to backpack in Europe for a bunch of the Summer. This Fall found me working on, among other things, NVCC’s production of Cabaret. I won’t get into how timely this show was with the political climate here in the US, but it was definitely the grounds for a lot …
Just as we were nearing the end of our over-the-top busy season at NVCC, disaster struck. Our electrical system for the main stage went DOWN. The short version is that the transformer on the roof had some serious issues and we had no reliable power for stage lighting. House lights and standard electrical wall outlets …
Today we close on the 5th and final drama production of our academic year at NVCC – Neil Simon’s “Rumors.” I was the sound designer. Because of all of the other shows in this crazy month and a half, I had this one pretty much designed and programmed right out of the gate back in …

But this is exciting for me. We have ended up …
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 …
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 …
This season is just not letting up. I’m getting married this summer, and we are paying for the wedding ourselves. Which means we’re not doing the typical $36,000+ American wedding (we are kind of not into that anyway) and we are trying to pay for it in cash. So I’m…working. A lot. I am designing/building …
