Bio

I have been designing & creating Props, Stage Managing, Directing, Casting and Teaching, for over 42 years.  Locally, I have worked at THE FOLGER SHAKESPEARE THEATRE, THE OLNEY THEATRE, ARENA STAGE, TOBY'S, HARLEQUIN, BURN BRAE, WEST END & MOSBY Dinner Theaters.  I started Victrola & Company so I could offer my services as a Theater Consultant, and be able to design & construct props and costumes for shows like BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and make them available for rent.  You can check out my photos on facebook, MTI showspace/Community Rentals or my website www.victrolaandcompany.com

 

My long term goal is to be your first stop when doing BEAUTY AND THE BEAST or any one of the shows listed on my website.  I charge a very small fee for consulting over the phone, and have done that with many theaters from the MUNY Opera, to theaters in Canada and all across the country.  You can call me at 301-641-7914
