Scenic Deisgn Barefoot in the Park Freaky Friday Boeing Boeing The Penelopiad Urinetown For Urinetown: The Musical, I embraced Brechtian and German Expressionist influences to create a dystopian world that reflects the play’s satirical take on power and rebellion. Moving away from the typical steampunk aesthetic, I used stark, angular concrete textures and sharp lines, inspired by The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, to establish an oppressive and distorted atmosphere. Strategic lighting, including Edison bulbs and a symbolic ghost light, added layers of meaning, highlighting themes of control and freedom. This minimalist yet intense design serves both as a visual satire and a critical reflection of societal issues.

Scenic Deisgn Barefoot in the Park Freaky Friday Boeing Boeing The Penelopiad The Merry Wives of Windsor For The Merry Wives of Windsor, directed by Jamey Grisham, I embraced a 1950s sitcom aesthetic, drawing inspiration from mid-century modern architecture to create a vibrant and dynamic set. To manage the play's multiple locations, I designed colorful, flying doors in red, yellow, green, blue, and violet, allowing for seamless transitions between scenes. The green door, paired with a circular green wall portal and strategic lighting, transformed into the forest setting, adding a whimsical touch to the production. This approach not only facilitated smooth scene changes but also infused the stage with the playful energy characteristic of 1950s television comedies.
