Girlfails: From Page to Stage

AJ's Custom-Designed major, "Entertainment Production and Design" incorporates entertainment and arts management, theater and film production, and engineering principles. His capstone project, "Girlfails: From Page to Stage" is the full production for the world premiere of the new play Girlfails, for which he is the executive producer, technical director, and lighting designer. This project sees the production through all phases of development, design, and staging while providing a better understanding of the landscape for young theater professionals creating independent work. In this presentation, AJ will provide a peek behind the curtain at the process of producing new work and reflect on his path through his Custom-Designed major.
