To be a successful stage designer and scenic artist, you must view events from the perspective of aesthetic and emotional impact, consistent with the theme and direction of the content – providing a credible environment within often stringent limitations of budget, facility, and schedule. The color, mood, scale, and style of the setting must give the actors immediate credibility (within the context of the play) the moment they step on-stage. When the lights first come up, the audience should have an immediate visceral reaction which puts them into the correct mental frame for the content and style of the piece.
Please be patient. We're still under construction., but we will soon be adding photos and designs to the gallery.
