about
Based in Charlotte, NC, I work primarily in theatrical scenic design, but also explore puppetry and other visual and storytelling media when fun opportunities arise.
Cool projects have taken me to New York City (off-Broadway), Chicago (where I was based for 10+ years), and at major regional theatres across the US. I have been fortunate to design children’s theatre in Taiwan, operas in Italy, projects in Scotland (Edinburgh Fringe) and England, and directed design exhibits in Czechia, and have been honored by a few awards and nominations along the way.
Projects have run the gamut from small scale to large budgets -- immersive installations, site-specific theatre, touring projects, classical plays (including a 12-hour-long reimagining of all the extant Greek tragedies), even a musical performed in a swimming pool. In short, I consider myself lucky, and am always open to something fun and different, and look forward to the next challenge.

This website has projects that I have designed in the past decade or so. If you are interested in seeing more of my work, my older website is still available at www.tomburch.com
