Set Design

I have been very fortunate to work on some incredible shows at the Mercury Theatre Chicago over the past 10 years. It is one of my very favorite venues in Chicago. Though the backstage is tight (the back wall in some of my designs is the actual back wall of the stage), it is the perfect sized venue at 300 seats.
