Voices from Vietnam production

   Creative Team  (cont'd) 

 

Michelle Matthews, Sound Design - Many thanks to Harry for letting her be a part of this meaningful show. Some favorite work includes, Directing: Miracle on 34th Street, (FCT), Anne of Green Gables (PWLT), Little Women (CRT); Costume Design: Spring Awakening (Zemfira Stage), Sister Act (PWLT-Broadway World DC Nominated); Sound Design: Seussical (CRT), Diary of Anne Frank (PWLT-WATCH Nominated.)

  

Kaitlyn Nelson, Sound Operator - Kaitlyn just entered her first year in the theater world; her first show was FCT’s Tuck Everlasting in May 2024. She attended a film trade school in Orlando for her love of film but ultimately fell more in love with live theater. She wants to thank God, her family, and hopes you enjoy the show!  

 

Thor Matthews, Photographer/Videographer - Thor has fielded many roles, from producer, assistant director, costuming, sound board, photography, videography - for FCT, PLWT, Castaways, and Zemfira. Thanks, Harry!

 

Stub Estey, Playbill Design - Also on stage in this production, Stub gained experience making playbills while producing FCT shows Gift of the Magi-the Musical, Our Town, and Driving Miss Daisy. He also created them for a few other shows at FCT, and is honored to be doing it again for the Voices from Vietnam team.
