| Lighting |
I have worked at The Marsh Theater for over six years.
During that time, I have designed the lighting for dozens of
full runs and one night shows.
The majority of the shows I have designed are solo
performances. However, I have designed many full cast
performances as well. I have also been the Stage Manager
for all performances and operated the lighting and sound
boards.
Below is a partial list of the shows I have designed and the
performers I have worked with. Along with the many
performers I have worked with, I have also worked alongside
directors David Ford and Charlie Varon.
For more information on my future endeavors, desires and
intentions as a Lighting Designer, please see the "About"

Dan Hoyle's "Tings Dey Happen" - 2007 - Directed by Charlie
Varon, Dan's show had full houses every evening and was
extended for six months before moving to Off-Broadway and
then returning to The Marsh for a short, final run. Dan Hoyle
recently won the Glickman Award and "Tings Dey Happen"
was called one of the best shows of 2007 in San Francisco.
During the initial run, I followed Dan to Stanford to design and
run the show in a summer festival there. I also designed and
ran Dan's previous solo show "Florida, The Big Bummer". I
have also designed Dan's most recent hit show "The Real
Americans".

week run and re-designed and ran "The Magnificence of the
Disaster" there.

take it on the road. I was asked to tour with them and design
