Work on the Show
Below are images from the show as well as marketing images from the show. First up are a few shots that were staged by Jonathan for social media. The second row of photos are all from the rehearsal process. The final row consists of more marketing images staged by Jonathan as well as the poster which Jonathan and Dr. Kathy Blandin worked on staging together.
As Assistant Director and Producer, I oversaw both the creative and logistical facets of the production, balancing artistic collaboration with project management. Under Professor Gabelhausen’s direction, I supported staging, rehearsals, and actor coordination—contributing to the choreography of fight scenes, developing pronunciation guides, and maintaining performance consistency across rehearsals.
As my Senior Capstone project, this production also reflected my work as a Producer, where I coordinated marketing and design efforts, managed interdepartmental communication, and co-designed the official production poster alongside Dr. Kathy Blandin. The result was a cohesive, fast-paced production brought to life on a dynamic, student-built set that highlighted the collaboration within the Piedmont Theatre Department.
For a deeper look into the process and documentation behind this project, my Capstone Binder—including production materials, and my final presentation slideshow—is available for viewing below.
