47. *REBROADCAST* ERICA HEMMINGER - Associate Set Designer of MOULIN ROUGE

Beyond the Lights: A Conversation with Theater Professionals

Aug 25 2021 • 51 mins

I'm so excited for you to listen to (or revisit) my conversation with Erica Hemminger, associate set designer of Moulin Rouge. A lot has happened since we recorded this a year ago, but my fascination with the elephant continues. Please enjoy this rebroadcast of episode four of Beyond the Lights.

Please note, the next new episode will premiere on Tuesday, September 7th, and then alternate Mondays moving forward.

___________________________________________________________

This week we have Erica Hemminger an associate set designer on Broadway.  If you’ve been to a Broadway show within the last 10 years you’ve probably seen something she’s worked on, including but not limited to Anything Goes, Beautiful, American Son, and the biggest one to date Moulin Rouge.  We discuss how she got started in set design, why we should all be discussing our salaries more, and just how many elephants are on the Moulin Rouge set.
