After ten years as a free-lance designer in Manhattan I moved to Washington, D.C., where I have my studio and where I teach and head the M.F.A. program in design at The University of Maryland. While in New York I attended the Studio and Forum of Stage Design and assisted John Lee Beatty on many Broadway and Off-Broadway productions and designed several dozen Off-Broadway productions on Theatre Row including the premieres of Horton Foote's Lily Dale and Brecht's Conversations in Exile; and many productions for The Manhattan Class Company directed by Don Scardino, Michael Greif, Robert Lupone, and others. I have designed productions for Regional Theatres including: The Berkshire Theatre Festival, The Cleveland Playhouse, The Boston Lyric Opera, The Rep. Theatre of St. Louis; The Hangar Theatre; Syracuse Stage; and The Arden and Wilma Theatres in Philadelphia. In Washington, I have designed 20 productions for The Studio Theatre. Recent and upcoming projects include: Radio Golf, directed by Ron Himes for the Studio Theatre; Arcadia, directed by Aaron Posner for The Folger Theatre; Chasing George Washington, directed by John Vreeke for The Kennedy Center; My Name is Asher Lev, directed by Aaron Posner for The Arden Theatre; Stunning, directed by Anne Kauffman for The Woolly Mammoth Theatre; Dirty Blonde, directed by Jeremy Skidmore for The Signature Theatre; Chess and Sunset Boulevard directed by Eric Schaeffer for The Signature Theatre; and the recent premiere of The Trumpet of The Swan by Jason Robert Brown, directed by Gary Griffin for The Kennedy Center. Nominated ten times, I received the Helen Hayes Award for Outstanding Set Design in 2000 and most recently in 2009 for Stunning at The Woolly Mammoth Theatre Co. |
