Assassins

Flint Repertory Theatre, November 2018

Sondheim's musical about Presidential assassins was conceptually set in a run-down, twisted carnival. Partnering with the scenic and lighting designs, I created various soundscapes evoking vintage arcades and carnival games, and partnered the many gunshot effects with bells and buzzers as the assassins "won" or "lost."

​The production was staged in Flint Rep's Elgood space, a 3/4 thrust stage that put the actors in the laps of the audience. A seven-piece band, directed by Frank E. Pitts, was housed in a vestibule behind the seating area. To overcome the challenges of the space, I elected to use the natural projection of the actors and sparingly miced the company, uniquely presenting a musical projected mostly by the actors.
