In this episode, we chat with COF resident scenic designer, Joe Lavigne!
Joe has been a resident of the valley since 1995. He started his life in theatre with COF 25 years ago by taking an acting class led by COF co-founder Rusty Wilson. This led to performing in a couple of plays which led to the desire to continue learning theatre which led to Joe going back to college at 40. He achieved a degree in Theatre Design from Boise State University in 2006. While at BSU, Joe’s first realized set design, Dante, earned a regional KCACTF scenic design award. About to apply to Grad schools, Joe was offered a job to work with COF by the late John Glen, that was to last a year but instead turned into 14. Since 2006, Joe has designed numerous plays for each season at COF. Highlights include: K2, Doubt, God of Carnage, Other Desert Cities, Enchanted April, Peter and the Starcatcher, Proof and 4000 Miles.
