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"

"Chess" for Playhouse Conservatory Company 2013

"Chess"...some folks love the show and some detest the show.  Director Scott Wise wanted to move the show into a different realm.  Anne Mundell designed a very open concept plan.  Jesse Sedon-Essad (video designer) and I worked really hard to move along with the idea.  There were some wonderful performances and moments in the show.  Would I change things if i were to do it again?  You decide.






"School for Scandal" at Point Park

This was a great challenge for a young acting company. It is highly stylized and the students rose to the occasion.  Director, Alan Stanford, did a little cut and paste to update the script.  Joan Markert did an amazing job on the costuming and Michael Essad made the transitions between locations quick and simple.  It was fun to work on and the show had a really sweet run.
