Theatre Professor Designs Traveling Hypocrites’ Production

Assistant Professor of Scenic Design Tom Burch designed the set for The Hypocrites’ production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance, performed at the N.Y.U. Skirball Center in New York City November 29-December 9. The uncoventional production was both previewed and favorably reviewed in the New York Times. The Hypocrites will take Pirates of Penzance to the Pasadena Playhouse in Los Angeles in January and the Olney Theatre Center near Washington, DC, next July.

Closer to home, Burch designed two recent shows for Children’s Theatre of Charlotte: Mary Poppins and The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.
