Here are some photos of productions I directed. Some of the most visually interesting designs were born out a need to be creative, ie. a low budget or zero fly space! I love these collaborations.

“Keira Naughton has come up with an ingenious way of staging the play. The father’s hospital bed remains unseen throughout the play. As a result, though Gabe is speaking to this father, it has the effect that he is speaking directly to us, which allows for eye contact with the audience and direct address. In addition, the daughter Naughton has worked with set designer Hugh Landwehr to determine that less is more. As the play progresses, the view through that window becomes less specific, offering opaque views and multiply-colored views, which nonetheless convey both the brightness and the smogginess of life in LA.”
