Murder on the Orient Express
book by Ken Ludwig
Production Team
Direction by Tony Humrichouser
Scenic Design by Mike Higgins
Lighting Design by Lilian Meyers
Costumes by Sydney Martin
Sound Design by Benjamin Culp
The scenic design of Murder on the Orient Express involved four pivoting train platforms with a trick step on each one. Two needed to slide away from each other to allow for the platforms to pivot, and two are pulled out of the other two platforms once they're open. These steps and the digital recreation of the designers drawings for the lighting designer were my main projects.

Beautiful: The Carol King Musical's scenic design was a reused set. The two mini upright piano shells, the credenza, the log cabin couch and coffee table, and the recording booth were made new. My main projects were the execution of the credenza, recording booth, log coffee table, and the finer details of masking the keyboards in the piano shells.
