Phil is very excited to be once again responding to the fantastic work of Region III, and grateful for the ability to do it from the comfort of a chair! (Which is a small but noteworthy thing to be grateful for in these unpredictable times.) Phil has been with Pioneer Theatre Company in SLC, Utah since 2017. Prior to that, he spent five seasons as Director of Costumes and Wardrobe for Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre. Though he almost exclusively works in costumes these days, he has also worn the hats of scenic designer, props artisan, charge artist, stage manager, house manager, actor, director, choreographer, and once taught a cast of Xanadu how to roller skate. Phil was the recipient of the 2002 KC/ACTF National Award in Costume Design and has spent many years as a DTM respondent at his home in Region VIII.
