Making My SCR Debut: Million Dollar Quartet (2025)

Co-designing my first production at South Coast Repertory, one of the nation's leading regional theaters.

August 29, 2025

Scenic designer Brandon PT Davis joins the creative team at South Coast Repertory for its upcoming production of Million Dollar Quartet, marking his scenic design debut at the theatre. Davis will co-design the set alongside Efren Delgadillo Jr., whose extensive experience in regional and festival theatre has been an invaluable guide during the early stages of the process.

Million Dollar Quartet launches South Coast Repertory's 62nd season on the Segerstrom Stage, opening September 13, 2025, and running through October. The high-energy musical is inspired by the legendary, spontaneous jam session that brought together four rock 'n' roll icons—Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins—at Sun Records in Memphis.

Collaborating with the team at South Coast Repertory feels like a homecoming for Davis. The company's level of craft, production value, and urgency in storytelling align closely with the kind of work he has been striving toward. Designing a set that captures the spontaneity and high-stakes energy of the historic jam session—while also finding moments of humor and intimacy—presents a thrilling creative challenge.

Davis extends his gratitude to David Ivers, Suzanne Appel, Kim Martin-Cotten, James Moye, and the entire South Coast Repertory company for their trust and collaboration. He looks forward to sharing the world of Million Dollar Quartet with audiences this fall.
