| I have worked at The Marsh Theater for over three years. During that time, I have designed the lighting for nearly two dozen runs and around a dozen 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" page or click here. |

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". | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
