An Appalachia Musical
Bright Star is a musical written by two icons: legendary comedian turned blue grass musician Steve Martin and 1990s pop star Edie Brickell.
My friends at The Footlight Club. put together this production and asked me to create a photo illustration to help promote it.
The Character Portraits
The theater started doing character portraits over a decade ago. And, they have been a great way to give the actors an opportunity to show off their roles.
The publicity programs these into social media interviews, posts and even the headshot board by the theater entrance.
We have even used the character portraits in several collage pieces including The Footlight Club’s season brochure covers.
Supporting Live Theater!
At last count, I have created over 70 posters over the years, for a wide variety of productions.
Like any client, theaters have their own unique challenges and rewards.
The biggest reward, for me, is helping to support live theater, especially at this level.
Go out and support your local community theater, whether it is buying a ticket and going to a show or getting involved as an usher, actor, producer or photographer.
You will have so much fun!
