The actor that played the decapitated head, allowed me to make a mold of his face for this project, sometimes the head had lines and sometimes, for dramatic effect, actors could pick it up and walk away with it.

Set pieces that needed to look ancient, coffee grounds and sand were added to the paints.

These giant steaks needed to be fabricated for a big pun in a silly play, how do you kill vampires? With a stake of course.

One of my first projects, fabricating this wizard head for The Wiz was a labor of love that got me hooked on fabricating, his eyes lit up and it had the ability to shoot steam through the nose.

I found so many uses for foam and over time I had many opportunities for fabricating desserts and foods.

This sign needed refurbishing with color-matching, re-glittering and a removable II had to be fabricated for use with both of the teams various performances.

Sometimes we acquire a set from another theater company and pieces need to just be added and matched to their existing pieces.

The judges bench was half finished when it arrived and these benches were a variety of colors!

This puzzle was created for a performance celebrating diversity, the pieces were detachable for the dancers to move with and they velcro-ed together and held up by the stand below to ensure their movements wouldn't knock it down.

Wanting to convey the pirate ship without using the typical Jolly Roger.

Light as a feather but strong enough to sit on, these are used in a variety of plays.

Some pieces were commissioned, some were just for fun.

The happy couple appreciated having these personalized pieces long after the wedding was over.

These brains were used in a variety of scenes for Young Frankenstein, they needed to retain the spongy look while being sturdy enough to be kicked around by the fumbling doctor.

This happy elephant bird puppet was created for the big finale in Seussical, the puppet can be used with the fabricated egg that had a sneaky hole in the back, or on it's own.

For use in a monster themed show, these wacky sock creatures found a good home after their debut.

Flora for the Alice in Wonderland set. (Each 4'x8')

This unique set was created using multiple drops that were double-sided to allow for fast scene changes in a diminutive space.

This petite set was designed to work on one of our smallest stages.

This play was an example of working closely with the costumer to ensure that there was a proper blend of ethnic elements, colors and patterns to suggest a non-specific exotic feel.

Oraphanage and Daddy Warbucks home. I created a rotating doorway.

This unique set was created with a resizable back scene to allow for it to fill up any stage size. The inspiration was a collage type setting to go with the jazzy theme of the music.

This 50s set was inspired by retro advertising, The Jetsons and Mad Men

This western themed, mellow drama and musical was a fun exercise in minimalism and texture. I mixed into my scenic dope for the monuments and the grains were hit by the stage lights to create a really nice effect.

This faux stained glass, faux stone wall was an important visual in an otherwise very minimalist set.

This whimsical set needed to capture the feel of all of Dr. Seuss's works whether they were visiting Whoville or the Jungle of Nool. I loved creating truffula trees that were actually fuzzy and bringing this childhood favorite to life.

One of my most "moving" set pieces the three background flats pivoted on steel frames for fast and easy set changes.

Lots of fun fabrication went into this large and moody set.
