My most recent design projects include two Broadway shows with Mike Birbiglia - The New One at the Cort Theater in 2018, which was captured for Netflix and is currently streaming, and 2022’s The Old Man And The Pool at the Vivian Beaumont Theater. My work with Mike on his show My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend is also on Netflix. Other recent projects include Leonard Bernstein’s MASS for the Kennedy Center (scenic and lighting design), and shows for Colin Quinn, Yo-Yo Ma, Natalie Merchant, Maya Beiser, Miami City Ballet, Eliot Feld, Jonah Bokaer, the Royal Ballet Of Flanders, and others.
I've designed plays for The Old Globe, The Kennedy Center, Dallas Theater Center, and other major theaters around the country. I have worked extensively in the dance world, and in 2008 I received my second Bessie Award for Jonah Bokaer’s The Invention Of Minus One. I had a long association with Merce Cunningham, designing such pieces as Ground Level Overlay, Windows, and Biped, the lighting for which also won a Bessie.
My company, Live Production Labs (www.liveproductionlabs.com), has done extensive lighting consultation for such clients as Lincoln Center, The Park Avenue Armory, The Lewis Center at Princeton University, The Prior Center at the College Of The Holy Cross, The Lindemann Center at Brown University, Chelsea Factory, and The Shed.
I received an MFA from the Yale School of Drama where I studied with Jennifer Tipton, Steve Strawbridge, and Ming Cho Lee, and a BA from SUNY-Binghamton where I studied with John Vestal, John Bielenberg, and Sharon Perlmutter.
I've been a freelance theater artist in New York City since 1987 and a member of United Scenic Artists Local #829 since 1999.
