Meet Joseph Lamar

Previous credits include "The Wolves" (Fine Arts Center), "Every Brilliant Thing" (Theatre Works), "Acts of Faith", "Year of Magical Thinking" and "Toni Stone" (Aurora Fox Arts Center), "Steel Magnolias" (Theatre Works) and an interactive music interface for Denver’s Meow Wolf. 

I got to work with Kenny Moten on "Toni Stone" and I was eager to work with him again on this powerful show.

In the beginning, I try to rely on the script and the people I work with. Then I collect and create sounds that hit all of the practical check marks while infusing them with creative liberties that serve the work/moment.

Getting things to flow logistically.

So far, it’s been great to dive into the script. It’s beautifully written and it stays with you because it asks more questions than it answers.

It's nuanced. I appreciate that it zooms on the way that corrupt systems affect us on the micro level.

This show drives home the idea that despite our varying backgrounds and affiliations, our fates are bound together. I hope that people will take it upon themselves to appreciate  commonality and approach disagreement with “overstanding” and grace.

My next sound design will be for "Cullud Wattah" at Curious Theatre under the direction of Jada Suzanne-Dixon! One day, I’d like to star in an original musical.
