Moon Man Walk

Moon Man Walk was the final production of Baylor University’s 2021-2022 season. Previously, I had only worked on musical productions, so this show acted as my introduction to designing for straight plays. The unique thing about this production was that it is written for a cast comprised entirely of actors of color. This provided the opportunity to find what complements both the actors’ skin tones, as well as the story.

Footloose

Footloose was Baylor University’s musical production for the 2021-2022 season. I had the exciting opportunity to serve as the co-lighting designer alongside our faculty lighting designer, and my mentor, JoJo Percy. While I had assisted on the previous season’s musical, having a larger creative role was new and exciting, as well as challenging. Working in tandem with JoJo to create the world of Bomont allowed me to observe, in real-time, what makes a successful design.
