Anna in the Tropics
Written by Nilo Cruz
UGA University Theatre
Dramaturg
The art of dramaturgy involves a good deal of research. Part of my research for Anna in the Tropics involved a trip to Ybor City, Florida to visit the factories and shantys that were once the homes and workkplaces of numerous Cuban immigrants in the Florida tobacco trade.
The Laramie Project
Written by Moisés Kaufman
BGSU Joe E Brown Theatre
Scenic / Media Designer
The small space in the Joe E Brown Theatre required a multi-use acting area with multiple levels. The director wanted a stark feel which could incorporate media, some of which was environmental, other clips were integrated into the action (press conferences, newscasts, etc).
Vinegar Tom
Written by Caryl Churchill
BGSU Joe E Brown Theatre
Scenic Designer
The multi-use acting space is surrounded by dead branches and brush culled from local trees, wired with green-glowing eyes that watch every movement on stage. This modern re-imagining of the events of the Salem Witch Trials is at once haunting and poignant.

pal.Hamlet
pal.Hamlet was the virtual double of live actor Norman Ferguson, who played Hamlet in our remediated production of Hamletmachine. The concept behind this production was that Hamlet himself was split, his personality fragmented, and the negative forces within him manifested themselves as pal.Hamlet, a virtual Doppelgänger who lived in Hamlet’s mind. pal.Hamlet drives Hamlet when he is unable to act for himself, driving him to the darker actions of the play, including the rape of his mother.
For our production, I led the media team charged with bringing pal.Hamlet to life. As the main focus of my research into Posthuman Theatre, I saw pal.Hamlet as an example of the acting machine, an animated avatar driven by the action onstage.
