Andrew Hoar, Theatre Production Designer/Technical Director
Andy Hoar has led a varied and
active life as a theatre technician. While pursuing his Bachelor of Arts degree
at New England College in tech and performance, he also survived summer stock in
New Jersey and New Hampshire. He has also worked as an electrician and "roadie"
for several bands including Boston and New Riders of the Purple
Sage.
His technical expertise has taken him to the Boston Opera, the Palace
Theater (Manchester, NH), Northfield-Mount Hermon School, and Colby-Sawyer
College. Over the last 20 plus years at MCLA, Andy has designed more than 50 shows, including a post-apocalyptic Macbeth with scrap metal including
two compacted cars, the elegant solarium for Pillars of Society, and the
computer projected artwork of The Laramie Project. As advisor and
lighting designer for the MCLA Dance Company, Andy works closely with the
student organization to produce two full scale dance shows each year.
He also
enjoys riding his custom Harley-Davidson, creating unique 4-wheel drive trucks,
and fishing and boating on a quiet lake in Maine. Andy serves as a board member
on the Mohawk Theater restoration committee and is Chair of the Williamstown
Zoning Board of Appeals. Andy's position at MCLA allows him to be active in all
aspects of his art as he directs his energies towards the involvement of
students in theatre.
