A dear old friend of mine introduced me at a production meeting as "That Famous Polish Lighting Designer" and we all chuckled. During the production the crew gave me a pen/desk set with the engraving TFPLD. As the internet came into popular culture i needed an email addy. I tried 4 different names and on my last chance i looked at my pen/desk set and said of course "TFPLD"

'She Loves Me" more shots 2010

Any musical allows for a sense of color.  Its always FUN!  Enjoy.



"She Loves Me" for the conservatory 2010

This is such a sweet little show.  The production was a success in the end.  There were some technical challenges during the techs which made life a little hard at times.  1st preview the show went so smoothly there was a huge sigh of relief.

Lonesome West at The Rep 2011

This play is a very twisted little piece about two brothers relationship.  Some would call it "black comedy".  I just laugh.  The play has mainly one location but there is one scene that takes place exterior.  Kim Martin, the director, and I made a choice to place the monologue of the priest in the middle of a "star field".  There are some fun special FX's with the props in this play. This was Lindsey Mayer's first design.  She was a junior at the time.  Nice work!

"Mercy and the Firefly" at The Rep 2011

This was another new play.  We did the 2nd production.  It has potential but can be a "rough" play to sit through.  Steffi Mayer Staley, the set designer, took the first picture.  If you did not know this was from a theatrical production you would wonder what the newspaper was trying to document.  I am fond of the 4th shot in the post.  We are in two basic locations.  Interior and exterior.  Time of day goes from day to night.
