Worked for 7 years as a freelance jack-of-all-trades in the Philadelphia theater community. The above are some of the designs and relationships I am most proud of. Generally, a designer is responsible for the concept and implementation of an idea in collaboration with the rest of the creative team. A stage manager is responsible for advocating for the actors, producing the rehearsal and technical schedule, and maintaining the consistency of the work as a whole after the rest of the creative team has left a production.
