Right now I’m about to go into tech for The Drunken City at Playwright’s Horizons, where I’m assisting Matt Richards. After that opens, Diego comes to Radio City Music Hall for a few days, and then I head to St. Louis with Susan Marshall & Company’s Cloudless. After I return from St. Louis, I am designing 37 Stones for Working Man’s Clothes here in New York City. After that I will be in Dallas assisting Matt Richards on Dallas Theater Center’s production of The Misanthrope.

Scapin opened last night at the Turtle Shell Theater. So far it’s been pretty well received; stagebuzz.com said, “Production values are strong. Keven Lock’s bright and electrically vibrant sets perfectly frame A. Christina Giannini’s ‘70s-inspired (and one suspects vintage, in some cases) costumes. Eric Larson’s lighting shows everything off to great advantage.”

Here’s what I’ve been up to lately, and what’s coming up in the future.
In October I designed EATfest, a festival of 18 short plays for the Emerging Artists Theatre Company. The Off-Off Broadway Review said the plays “featured some excellent lighting work by designer Eric Larson”. In November I went to Geneva, NY and Hamilton, NY as lighting supervisor for Susan Marshall & Company for two performances of Cloudless.
Next week I open Scapin for Turtle Shell Productions; the week after that it’s Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse for Manhattan Children’s Theatre.
In January I’ll be in York, PA to tech the 2nd national tour of Go Diego Go, Live! as assistant lighting designer to Tom Sturge.

Nytheatre.com’s review of You Can’t Take it With You said “Eric Larson’s lights are exactly right—just the kind of design you want for a show like this—they are so good you don’t even notice them.”
