#89 Jason Sherwood

This week we are sitting down with Emmy Nominated Scenic Designer Jason Sherwood! Jason is nominated for the production design of 'RENT Live' and he gives us the full deep dive into his set for this groundbreaking production. From it's development along side Michael Greif, to figuring out audience locations and camera blocking, to how to transition the story from place to place, Jason is giving us the inside scoop on all of it. He and Cory also touch on a whole host of topics including social media use, the keys to staying positive, Jason's live music work with Sam Smith, Sara Bareilles and the Spice Girls, how he's achieved so much before his 30th birthday, and much much more. Prepare for an eye opening, candid chat with a designer who clearly sleeps very little and works very hard. AND, true stories from a 6'-6" guy trying to squeeze into a Broadway theatre seat. Jason is easily one of the most in demand theatrical designers working today and he's spending over two hours giving us a window into his world. Enjoy!
