Franklin LaVoie
co-Resident Set Designer
Franklin LaVoie has a degree from the SUCB and is the founding member of
Skeletons In The Closet Productions. Franklin also does Storytelling and talks about
Local History Mysteries, as well as doing painting and design commissions.
Franklin's breath-taking design work has been seen at many area
theatres including Theater of Youth's (TOY) productions of THE LION, THE
WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE and THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW, the
Buffalo Ensemble Theatre's THE REMARKABLE PIETY OF THE INFAMOUS and
the New Phoenix Theatre's BLUE ROOM, ORGANIC MOVEMENT OF CHAIR
AND PITCHER, and THE PILLOWMAN -- to name only a few.
In 2005, Franklin received an Artie Award for his lighting
design of the New Phoenix Theatre's JESUS HOPPED THE A TRAIN.
Also an accomplished playwright, Franklin's self-produced
original works THE BEDEVILED CHEST and MEDIUM RARE have earned
much critical acclaim.
With Subversive Theatre, Franklin has crafted sets for our productions of
THE ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF AN ANARCHIST (2002), MANIFEST DESTINY BLUES
(2003), and our 2004
production of A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON MY WAY TO SHOOT THE CZAR for
the Toronto Fringe Festival.
Franklin served both as a set painter and
as a sometime musician for our production of Bertolt Brecht's THE
EXCEPTION AND THE RULE for the 2007 Buffalo "infringement"
Festival and then contributed some beautiful set painting and costume
crafting for our wildly experiment re-interpretation of Eugene O'Neill's THE
HAIRY APE for the 2009 Buffalo "infringement"
Festival!
