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.
(Set designs for the ActorsNET, unless otherwise noted.)
