CURRENT PROJECTS

The Nutcracker with Inland Pacific Ballet

I spent most of December overseeing the remount of my design for Inland Pacific Ballet’s Nutcracker.  We performed at Bridges Auditorium in Claremont, Fox Performing Arts Center in Riverside, and Lewis Family Playhouse in Rancho Cucamonga.  Early next year, I’ll be returning to all three venues to design their production of Cinderella.

Amazon Web Services re:Invent

I just returned from the Las Vegas, where I served as producer and lighting lead for the registration area and entry treatments at the Amazon Web Services re:Invent conference in the Sands Convention Center. Working with the Opus Agency, I oversaw those elements at a conference that was attended by over 30,000 people.

The Pearl Fishers at LA Opera

Last night we opened The Pearl Fishers at LA Opera.  I worked on this production in 2015 when it was performed at the Metropolitan Opera, so when the Lighting Designer Jennifer Schriever was not available, she called and asked if I could step in as Associate.  I was responsible for remounting the lighting design under the constraints of LA Opera’s rep schedule, and we received glowing reviews all around.

A Funny Thing Happened…

I’ve just finished up a few weeks working at the Geffen Playhouse on A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Gynecologic Oncology Unit at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center of New York City.  Matthew Richards was the Lighting Designer, but could only be in town for a few days. He tasked me as Associate Lighting Designer to oversee the production’s lighting design.
