What Most Excites You About This Production?
Everything, really. I thoroughly enjoy Dan’s plays. I am excited that he is a local playwright and that the play is set in Seattle. I have worked with Dan and Morgan on two previous productions and we
have a constructive method of working together which creates a positive energy.
What Is The Greatest Challenge You Face Designing This Production?
Building this set off site has been an enormous challenge. I’ve built it in segments because of space constraints and I have to dismantle it like a puzzle with many diagrams and instructions so hopefully it can be recreated at the Annex Theatre.

What Kind of Research Are You Doing to Prepare?
My research was technical in nature. My idea for the set came to me almost instantly but I realized very soon that my ideas were not necessarily all feasible and had to be modified to be practical and to enable the play to run smoothly.
What Have Been Some of Your Favorite Previous Productions You Have Designed For?
The first production I ever did, ‘Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean’ got me passionately hooked on set design. Every one I have done subsequently has had its own challenge and I have enjoyed immensely. The Torch Bearers’ and ‘Timepieces’ were both sets that required some technical inventiveness and I was really happy with how they worked out. Each production has been special in its own way.
