It’s easy to think that Set Design on Broadway is all about spectacle.

But as you’ll hear from Tony Award winning Set Designer Beowulf Boritt, size doesn’t matter.  How a set helps tells a story is what it’s all about.

That’s what separates the Designers from the designers, and “Wolfie” is one of the best Broadway has to offer.

In this week’s episode, hear him talk about the secrets of Broadway set design including . .

• How Lord of the Rings helped inspire him to be a designer.
• What he did in college that helped launch his career (if you’re in school, you should do this too, no matter what you want to do in the theater).
• The budgeting process on Broadway – what’s right, what’s wrong, and how to fix it.
• The difference between designing a musical and designing a play.
• The next big thing in set design is . . . . (hear his answer!)

I love talking to designers, because it’s the area that I know the least about . . . and while listening to Beowulf, I kept thinking, “Wow, this must be what going to Yale and studying set design must be like.”
