Theater & Set Design

"If I weren't a theater designer, I wouldn't be any other kind of designer. Design is interesting to me as it relates to narrative; the design has to support the narrative. Storytelling is the most important thing."

- Christine Jones

My background in Theater and Set design is an unusual one. My degree from University is in Architecture, and I was a practicing architect for nearly a decade before entering the world of education. However, outside of a few church plays with my family, I had no experience in designing sets for a musical.

When I started at Maya, I decided to adopt two old philosophies of mine when designing for the stage:

"If you're going to do it...do it right"

"Go big or go home!"
