Starbucks Conference
Eric Larson / assisting, events /
I’m in New Orleans, assisting on the Starbucks Leadership Conference and General Assembly meeting. The scope of the project is enormous, and my responsibilities are extensive. I’ll try to post some pictures as things get further along; today has been nothing but taping out rigging points.
What’s Next…
Eric Larson / assisting, dance, events, musical, play, tour /
I’ve finished my time in Peterborough, NH for the summer, where I designed Harvey, Nobody Don’t Like Yogi, Stones in His Pockets, Private Lives, An Ideal Husband, Doubt and the children’s shows Hansel and Gretel and Cindy Reilly.
I’m about to head to Torrington, CT to tech The Magic Treehouse, a new children’s show going on a national tour. When I return from that, I’m going to Tempe, AZ to do Cloudless with Susan Marshall & Company, followed by New Orleans to be Assistant LD for the Starbucks Leadership Convention and General Assembly. Then I’m designing Absurd Person Singular for the Bristol Riverside Theater in Pennsylvania, followed by associate designing A Christmas Carol at Dallas Theater Center.
It’s a busy fall. Pictures from the summer’s shows should be up shortly, along with a minor redesign of some portions of the website.
Stones in His Pockets

Stones in His Pockets opened yesterday as my fourth design of the Peterborough Player’s season. The Monadnock Ledger-Transcript said, “…also designed the simple but serviceable set and Eric Larson’s stunning lighting provides any additional scenery that is needed.”

Right now I’m about to go into tech for The Drunken City at Playwright’s Horizons, where I’m assisting Matt Richards. After that opens, Diego comes to Radio City Music Hall for a few days, and then I head to St. Louis with Susan Marshall & Company’s Cloudless. After I return from St. Louis, I am designing 37 Stones for Working Man’s Clothes here in New York City. After that I will be in Dallas assisting Matt Richards on Dallas Theater Center’s production of The Misanthrope.
New Year Projects

I’m currently in York, PA assisting Tom Sturge on the 2nd tour of Go Diego Go, Live! I’ll be here until the end of next week, when I go to Stevens Point, WI for a few days with Susan Marshall & Company’s production of Cloudless. I’ll be back in New York after the 27th of January.
Still running at Manhattan Children’s Theater is Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse, running until Feb. 3rd.
Scapin
Eric Larson / play, review /
Scapin opened last night at the Turtle Shell Theater. So far it’s been pretty well received; stagebuzz.com said, “Production values are strong. Keven Lock’s bright and electrically vibrant sets perfectly frame A. Christina Giannini’s ‘70s-inspired (and one suspects vintage, in some cases) costumes. Eric Larson’s lighting shows everything off to great advantage.”
December / January
Eric Larson / assisting, musical, play, review /
Here’s what I’ve been up to lately, and what’s coming up in the future.
In October I designed EATfest, a festival of 18 short plays for the Emerging Artists Theatre Company. The Off-Off Broadway Review said the plays “featured some excellent lighting work by designer Eric Larson”. In November I went to Geneva, NY and Hamilton, NY as lighting supervisor for Susan Marshall & Company for two performances of Cloudless.
Next week I open Scapin for Turtle Shell Productions; the week after that it’s Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse for Manhattan Children’s Theatre.
In January I’ll be in York, PA to tech the 2nd national tour of Go Diego Go, Live! as assistant lighting designer to Tom Sturge.
