Set Design by Geo

SET DESIGNS at ActorsNET

 George most frequently appears with the ActorsNet of Bucks County in Morrisville, PA.


He regularly designs sets for it's "postage stamp" size stage...

The stage is basically a 20 ft deep by 24 ft wide "black box" style stage with a 8ft x 8ft chunk carved out of the upstage right corner footprint to accommodate the building's boiler room.


Below you will see photos of the completed sets.


While there is a construction crew to do the carpentry work, George does a lot of the finish painting and has a large hand in choosing set pieces to decorate the finished product.

Below is a chronological listing of the shows Geo has designed:
