David Gallo's A Catered Affair

My local public radio station reminds me that my brother's latest show is up and I haven't bragged about it yet. By "my brother's" show, I mean he was the set designer on it. I've loved any number of his sets (because they are brilliant, of course) but this is one of my favorites. The structure is a plain white exterior of a NY apartment building. Projections transform it into series of interior and exterior environments...layering back and forth and often combining the two.

Bragging Rights

My brother, David Gallo, has been nominated for a Tony Award for "Best Scenic Design of a Play". The show is August Wilson’s last play, Radio Golf. (Seen here is my blurry snapshot taken opening night.) Last year David won the Tony for designing the musical Drowsy Chaperone.

Good luck, Dave!

(Wow - this makes me realize that The Art Department is coming up on being a year old. That just can't be.)

Okay, so I'm cheating by posting past news but my brother, David Gallo, won a Tony Award last month for set design on "The Drowsy Chaperone"....and I think that's immensely cool.
