Theatre Design Specialist - March, 2010
American Theatre Wing: "Theatre Design Specialist Roger Morgan talks about how his education in scenic and lighting design and backstage experience helped determine his focus in the field of architecture. He works on new designs as well as restorations, fully evaluating the existing damage and work required. For the Nederlander Theatre, left in 'grungy' condition that suited the long-running musical Rent which closed in 2008, Morgan referred back to historical records and photos. Morgan paid close attention to the original architectural details and interior lighting, and gave the theatre a fresh exterior highlighting the arches and original brick as well as a new marquee."

It's really cool to hear from the folks who are actually the good theatre design folks. It seems like an inordinate amount of time with my peers is spent comparing the complete disasters that happen when schools build new theatres. It seems that too often there are consultants, but they either aren't that attentive, or the politics of the project leads to some unreasonable oversights and compromises.
