Biography

Jeff has worked in many different areas of the film and entertainment industry over the last twenty-five years, but whether he’s writing, designing, or directing, Jeff approaches all his work as a storyteller. Probably best known to Los Angeles theater patrons for his award-winning set designs, Jeff has designed and built over 150 productions from Santa Barbara to Edinburgh, Scotland, and recently received an L.A. Weekly Award for his work on Frank Zappa’s Joe’s Garage. Jeff is also one of the Artistic Directors and Producers of Wicked Lit, which takes classic horror literature and presents it theatrically in alternative venues. This years sold out run was performed within and on the grounds of the Mountain View Mausoleum and Cemetery in Altadena, Ca. He adapted and directed H. P. Lovecraft’s The Unnamable, which was performed in an actual cemetery. Their first production last year, at Greystone Mansion, was also a hit with audience who followed actors through the house and grounds of this historic site. Jeff adapted and directed Robert E. Howard’s classic terror tale Pigeons From Hell, for that production. Jeff recently directed a very unique production of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which used the very effective theatrical device of having four actors (3 men and 1 woman) portray the elusive and metaphysical Mr. Hyde. Other recent shows Jeff has directed are PEN, and The Mystery Plays. He was thrilled to direct two of Rod Serling’s original Twilight Zone episodes for Theatre West in Hollywood, which are still talked about and even received high praise from Carol Serling. Jeff was also a finalist in The 2008 Rod Serling Short Feature Scriptwriting Competition with his entry, “No Totos.” He is one of the creators, head writer, and artistic director of the Ghostwalk, now in its sixteenth year, which combines history with live theatre, in the streets of Santa Paula, CA.
