Mulan Jr.

Mulan Jr., Ogunquit Playhouse 2013. Directed by: ALEXANDRA RICKOFF. Designed by: CHERYL DOLAN.

Mulan Jr. was performed on the Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat stage. The raked deck played as a challenge. This collection of photos shows some carving, a puppet, and scenic painting.

The Cat In The Hat

The Cat In The Hat, Ogunquit Playhouse 2013. Directed by: BRIAN SWASEY. Designed by: CHERYL DOLAN

Dr.Seuss has always been a favorite of mine and a huge influence in my work. I was honored to be asked to design this show. Again, we were limited to what we could do due to the raked deck. This collection of photos shows more doodles, bringing the design to life, and painting.

If You Give A Mouse A Cookie

If You Give A Mouse A Cookie, Orlando Shakespeare Theater, 2008. Directed by: ANNE HERING. Designed by: ROBBIN WATTS

This was one of my first shows I had ever worked on. To this day it's still one of my favorites. I was the assistant paint/props person. Robbin Watts was the Charge Scenic Artist and Designer. Robert Dotzey was the Props Master.
