DIRECTORS AND DESIGNER BIOS

ELLIOT WASSERMAN (director) Elliot Wasserman has directed major musicals at professional venues around the country, including such favorites as Guys and Dolls, The Sound of Music, Cabaret, Gigi, Man of La Mancha and I Do! I Do! During his career he has directed such Broadway stars as Kay McClelland, Tony-Award nominee Mark Baker and Tony-Award winner for best actress in a musical, Donna Mckechnie. In June 2007, he directed a production of A Few Good Men starring film actor Lou Diamond Phillips (La Bamba, Young Guns) and television star Jensen Ackles (Supernatural, Dark Angel, Smallville); and in 2008, he directed a production of Damn Yankees starring Richard Kind (Mad About You, Spin City, A Serious Man, Toy Story 3). Most recently, he directed a production of Anything Goes at Kansas City Starlight Theatre starring Rachel York (Disaster!, Victor/Victoria, Kiss Me Kate, Lucy). From 1992-2005 he served as artistic director of the Lincoln Amphitheatre. An educator and chair of the University of Southern Indiana’s Department of Performing Arts, Wasserman's University directing credits are diverse, ranging from Shakespeare and Chekhov to such contemporary playwrights as Samuel Beckett and Christopher Durang. He is an occasional actor, having performed such roles as Frank Butler in Annie Get Your Gun! and Joe Keller in All My Sons. In 2007, he appeared on the New Harmony Theatre stage in The Importance of Being Earnest. A writer, Wasserman has created a translation/adaptation of Aristophanes' Lysistrata, and his short play Outlaws received a New York premiere in 2003, after earlier productions in Los Angeles and at the Actors Theatre of Louisville. In April of 2005, he was selected as one of eight theatre educators nationally as a directing fellow of the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival in Washington, and in January of 2006 he was awarded the KCACTF Gold Medallion Award for Excellence in Theatre Education. JOSHUA STALLINGS (lighting and sound designer) is excited to be returning to USI Theatre for his first full season as the sound designer and facilities coordinator. A composer, designer, and technician, Joshua spent the last seven years in the Twin Cities area where his work included shows with History Theatre, CLIMB Theatre, SteppingStone Theatre, Yellow Tree Theatre, Twin Cities PBS, and countless music and corporate events across the Midwest.

Credits for film and television include Billy Bathgate, A League of Their Own, Rude Awakening, Five Corners, Brenda Starr, Goodfellas, McBain, Legal Eagles, The Accident, Incident in Baltimore, A Specific Friendship, and many commercials and industrials. Shan holds a MFA in costume design from the University of Virginia. She teaches costume design at University of Southern Indiana. PAUL WEIMER (scenic designer) is an assistant professor of theatrical design at the University of Southern Indiana and the resident scenic designer for USI Theatre. He spent many years in New York City working as an associate set designer on numerous Broadway shows and national tours, including The Phantom of the Opera, Spamalot, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Shrek, Ghost, Matilda & The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, working with directors such as Harold Prince & Mike Nichols.
