“I felt like a fly on the wall..fascinating!”
“A fantastic show!”
“Surprisingly funny - and then I was in tears.”
“Uplifting, engaging…deserves all the fine adjectives I can muster. … A gem of a production - wholly satisfying. I didn’t want to leave. “

For the past few weeks I’ve been working on the set-design and construction for the Theater Forum production of “Angels Fall,” by Lanford Wilson. We just finished our first week of a three week run and have already received great audience feedback and our first review.

The challenge I’m working on today is to devise a way to stretch 10 black sound blankets (about 5 feet by 6 feet each) across a 26 foot expanse to create a false ceiling over the top of the theater playing space. This is for the theater project I’m working on (Angels Fall, by Lanford Wilson - Produced by the Theater Forum in New York.)

Recently I was digging through some old papers and found this funny little joke that a friend emailed me back in early 2001. I meant to put it up on one of my production websites, but it got lost in the shuffle. Now it has a home.

One of my current projects is as technical director and set designer for a production of “Angels Fall,” by Lanford Wilson. The show is being produced by the Theatre Forum at Church for All Nations, in New York City, and my wife Ellen is producing.

The Project: 6 Rustic Benches

My first construction project for this play is a set of 6 benches for the set. The director requested I make them first so the actors could get used to them during rehearsal. So, this past weekend, I sketched up my design and built 6 wooden benches.
