Welcome to our sixth episode of Tech Tuesday! Join host Carrie Phillips as she hands out the coveted-but-technically-nonexistent “slashie award” to Farmers Alley’s own Prop Designer slash Scenic Artist slash Stage Manager slash Production Coordinator, Savannah Draper! Savannah’s theatrical career may not be as long as some, but her color matching skills are unrivaled, and her ability to wield a glue gun is nothing to scoff at, either. You might even want to follow along with some paint and a brush as she takes us through a few of the painting techniques she uses all the time!

Welcome to our fifth episode of Tech Tuesday! We're so excited to have composer, musician, film enthusiast, frontman of local band Basic Comfort, and Farmers Alley sound designer Tony Mitchell, as well as Alex Tobin, former Farmers Alley sound designer turned NYC-based audio engineer who worked as an audio systems technician at the 2019 USTA US Open and 2020 Lena Horne Prize.

Join host Carrie Phillips to talk about creating original sound for our 2019 production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, the most fun they've ever had on the job, and just how much work it takes to design a show or produce an album!
