Centered on the Arts


Nov 17, 2020

Dani Lobello sits down with Rick Aglietti, the Resident Scenic Designer and Technical Director of Smothers Theater whose past work includes working as a technical director/lighting designer in Washington D.C and as a technical director/lighting designer in Ohio. They are joined by Stewart O’Rourke, the Assistant Technical Director and the Shop Foreman of Smothers, who previously worked as the master carpenter for the Center for the Arts and the Weisman Museum art installer. 

They discuss the technical aspects of previous Pepperdine productions, such as Les Miserables and Into the Woods, touching on which presentations were their favorites and which proved to be a bit more challenging. On a more personal side, both Stewart and Rick tell amusing anecdotes about their time with the Center for the Arts, and they talk about why the arts are important to them.
