THE TURN OF THE SCREW
ART OF ACTING STUDIO, LOS ANGELES
SCENIC DESIGNER - PAINTER
Henry James’ classic ghost story tells the tale of a young governess just before the turn of the last century who is tasked with the care of two rather peculiar children at a country estate in England. The governess comes to believe the children are possessed by the previous groundskeeper and governess who have since died.
I designed the set, built and painted.

END DAYS
CALIFORNIA REPERTORY THEATRE

This award-winning play is centered on sixteen-year-old goth atheist Rachel Stein and the wacky universe of people in her orbit: her mother is busily awaiting the Rapture; her father hasn’t changed out of his pajamas since 9/11; her new neighbor is an Elvis impersonator who has a crush on her; on top of all that the Apocalypse is approaching. Will Stephen Hawking be the one to save them all?

MUTUAL CONSENT
CALIFORNIA REPERTORY THEATRE, LONG BEACH
SCENIC DESIGNER
“A merging of two people is an impossibility, and where it seems to exist, it is a hemming-in, a mutual consent that robs one party or both of their fullest freedom and development. But once the realization is accepted that even between the closest people infinite distances exist, a marvelous living side-by-side can grow up for them, if they succeed in loving the expanse between them, which gives them the possibility of always seeing each other as a whole and before an immense sky.” --Rainer Maria Rilke
