Addams Family
Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School Visual And Performing Arts Department March 2022 Sound Designer/Technical Director I designed the sound for this musical. This show had a remote pit necessitating the use of audio over fiber as well as the use of many microphones. Also, I maintained the pit and stage camera to allow the actors and the conductor to see each other.
This show had many inputs including using 14 wireless microphones, 27 pit microphones and other inputs, 9 stage microphones, and 2 talk backs on a Behringer x32. This show had the technical problem of having more inputs than the 32 channels the mixbus on the X32 has. I circumvented this through using a secondary mixer to mix the stage microphones and specific sections of the pit. On top of this I used X32 Theatre Control (a software since renamed to TheatreMix) to allow me to program the DCA automation for this show. |

A few pages of my script used to design this show. Throughout this process I have developed a standard for the different types of cue notation.

110 Stories
Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School Visual And Performing Arts Department September 2021 Lighting and Sound Designer/Technical Director Designed lights and sound for a play about 9/11. The play discussed the personal impact of that great tragedy which led to the design premise. It used a darker and moody color pallet. I designed the use of two long strips of mesh hung vertically to represent the Twin Towers which were lit from below.

This is the patch. 110 Stories mostly used the house rig comprised of ETC ColorSource Spots and Pars set up across a single front of house electric with two electrics. When we made the scenic choice to create the Twin Towers we wanted to light them up. However, we had issues. I originally specified to rent a pair of ColorSource Par, however the angle of dispersion was too great and it spilled off the mesh towers. I tried to use Chauvet Colorband but even with one on the top and bottom it did not have a consistent wash. I ended up using those lights as toe lights. Surprisingly, the lights that ended up working were a set of Shehds LED Pars.
