So much love and congrats to the @miaminewdrama family. Delightful collaborators both new (@jlswader , @cmswader , @salomonlerner , @beth_valerie ) and longstanding (@margotbordelon ). So in awe of my associate @shane_cassidy and assistant Nathalie Sore. @mihausmann has built something truly magical in Miami. Stefanie Anarumo and @nickrichberg worked miracles. Sajari Hume killed it as PM and @amy.rauchwerger herded these cats like no other. So many more hardworking and passionate folks to thank! I’ll leave it there for now.

✨ Final chance! Don’t miss Jacqueline today at 3 PM at Lincoln Performance Hall. Last night’s audience called it “incredible” and “brilliant!” You’ve never experienced an opera like this — join us this afternoon! 🎶

"Without darkness, there is no light" Robert Wilson was a massive influence for me and lighting designers everywhere. He took me to the world's most beautiful venues to create theatre in a way I didn't know was possible. Mourning the loss of this dear artist, mentor, and friend. Pictured: - Rehearsal for Oedipus at the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus, Greece - Site visit for Oedipus at the Ancient Theatre at Pompeii, Italy (believe it or not this photos was not staged!). Note my cool guy beard. - My life for weeks and weeks at the Teatro Farnese, Parma, Italy working on Il Trovatore - The moon as light source, me at the tech table, for Oedipus at the Ancient Theatre of Pompeii, Italy #robertwilson #bobwilson @bob___wilson

I don’t post my set designs on here much - but this one I’m really proud of. (And who doesn’t love a ghost light pic?) It’s been a dream come true to collaborate with my dear wife @freijstagram to bring TARTUFFE to life. And these PSU students: so vivacious, hard-working, and bring me joy every day. It’s for you that I do all this. Our TD Brian Guerrero has been a godsend and one of many wonderful faculty and staff who has worked tirelessly to pump up this program and deliver us to this moment.

What a delightful two weeks creating a new performance piece with this amazing group of people — led by the kickass Christine Freije (who also happens to be my wife) If you’re in Portland, come through tonight at 7:30 for our first showing! PSU Boiler Room Theater. Free.

It was a delight to work on this piece and I’m so proud to bring it into the world. It’s visceral, mesmerizing, and rich. Huge thanks to the @nylivearts team for the homecoming and all the support in making it happen. (@ryan.j.clark you are a DREAM of a programmer.) .
