I took a trip to the East Coast to the Virginia Stage Company's theatre in Norfolk, VA for this design. Technically a musical, but the score has open sections without scoring and the director, music director and I had the challenge to fill the play and add to the mysticism of the world we were creating. The women were more than women at church on Sunday. They called back to the deities of Africa, to the queens and archetypes they had been. And it was magical to take part in such a journey. I don't believe I have ever sat in an audience for a preview and been more taken with the audience's experience of this work, and I greatly hope to work with these people again.

Sound Design is the process of acquiring, manipulating or generating audio. It is employed in filmmaking, television production, theatre, live performance, and video game software development.
Sound Design most commonly involves the manipulation of previously composed or recorded audio, such as sound effects and dialogue, to create a desired effect or mood.
Or rather, I make awesome noises for a living!

The Green Duck Lounge explores how the contemporary #BlackLivesMatters movement parallels the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s by focusing on the life of Leon Jordan, a Kansas City police officer, MO legislator, and civil rights activist. The play is a swift sixty-minutes with a first act set in 2015, a second act set forty years earlier, and a third act comprised of a post-play discussion.
