Hunchback of Notre Dame

CABRILLO STAGE

Musical

Lighting Designer: Carina Anna Swanberg

Scenic Design: Skip Epperson

Costume Design: Maria Crush

Master Electrician: Asta Baker

Lit with a flawless eye by Carina Swanberg, the epic Skip Epperson scenic design serves to move the action from confrontations with touring Romani, into the hallowed cathedral interior and high up into the bell tower where dwells the deaf hunchback Quasimodo (Juan Castro), kept out of sight by his surrogate father, the archdeacon Frollo (David Murphy).

The lighting and set design are as professionally done as a Broadway play, and when combined with the music and talent, lead one to believe they might see the same presentation on The Great White Way.
