UTA Spring Repertory Plays 2026
Ivories & The Beaux Stratagem
Ivories was produced in repertory with another play, The Beaux Stratagem. Over two weekends, these plays each received 4 performances (8 total) with 2 changeovers. Video above depicts the changeover from The Beaux Stratagem to Ivories.
These repertory plays also served as my M.F.A. Exit Project!

Construction Highlights
Rising Door
Door rose from the floor at key spooky moments in the play. Lifted manually by crew underneath the stage.
Bottle Balusters
A construction challenge faced was that of a decorative railing for the upstairs level with highly detailed and wide balusters. In an effort to add an element of sustainable design (as well as a cost-saving measure), I chose to visit a local non-profit (The Welman Project), who provided me with these milk bottles free of charge. We then shaped the bottles, adding wood and trim, to create the balusters. The final image shows the finished, painted result.
