Catch Up Photos

Soooo that "I'm going to Blog!" resolution went about well as expected.  It's been very busy this spring is all I can say - six shows in the last six months, one of them Off-Broadway - so there's that.

Here are a few catch-up photos at least:

A super dramatic look at the climax of The Ballad of Little Jo  at WaterTower Theater in Addison.  Here's another view, showing the "geological" levels:

Speaking of geology... try cramming the Grand Canyon into a basement space!  I found a good photo of my Men on Boats at Circle Theater:

And here's a random memory, the first good photo I've found of the top-of-show setting for Blasted at Undermain Theatre:

 if you know the photographer I'd love to credit them properly

Scenically this show was a clever trick... because in a couple minutes this nice hotel room becomes a bombed-out hellscape.  (The secret is that wainscot and fiber "wallpaper" above, which disguises a collapsing wall.  Shutters of the "bomb damage" swing in to change everything - very very fast!)

I'll toss in a few sketches for three shows at Kitchen Dog Theater this spring from which I don't yet have good photos:

You Got Older, Kitchen Dog Theater - set design Clare Floyd DeVries

Wolf at the Door, Kitchen Dog Theater - set design Clare Floyd DeVries 

Reykjavik, Kitchen Dog Theater - set design Clare Floyd DeVries

Reykjavik and The Ballad of Little Jo are still running!  So go by tickets if you can.

As soon as I have both the time and the energy I'll tell you about my adventure in NYC, which was exhausting and pretty cool...
