2025 Highlights
This year I've had the incredible opportunity to design a series of critically acclaimed musicals, each one bursting with vibrant characters and captivating stories, capped by winning the Elliot Norton Award for Outstanding Sound Design and relocating to New York City, where I will be making my off-broadway design debut soon!
Library Lion
Adam Theatre, Wimberly Theatre, Calderwood Pavillion
The World-Premiere of Adam Theatre's production of LIBRARY LION, a musical adaptation of the acclaimed children's book, with original music by Yoni Rechter. Featuring a 3-person operated puppet created by the Jim Henson Creature Shop, this one was an absolute treat for the eyes and ears, and played to two weeks of sold-out performances.
