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…

This was a great privilege to work on. My favorite thing is creating locations and moods by wielding music and sounds like a chisel, sculpting an experience for the listeners. Green duck tongue starts with a wonder opportunity to bring…

Road trip! This was a quite the mix up from my usual design, more like setting up an extended recording studio session! This play has foley on nearly every page and it was an adventure to get the right sounds…

This was a very different process for me; I had about two weeks from the first meeting to the handing off the show, and so it was imperative that everyone be on the same page. Oh course, it was a…

State Fair and All Shook Up were two shows that I was the sound designer and mixer. 20 mics, 50 kids. Five days for each show, and one of the most echoey rooms I've worked in to-date. Still it gave…

What a whirlwind! (Pun intended) This was the first Shakespeare play I've done sound design for and my first design working with a composer. Both were quite awesome. I loved to have music that was meant for the production and…

Buckle up! Another fast pace show, one week open to close. My second musical, the first that I got all the paperwork done weeks before and so was able to talk with the director and music director prior so that…

This is a difficult show to talk about because it was a difficult show. The civil war in Liberia was beyond imagining and this play shines a light on women who survivied, the women who fought, and the women who…
