With over 3,000 structures worldwide, his diverse local work ranges from celebrity homes to churches, office buildings on Central Avenue to the Theme Building at the Los Angeles International Airport and public housing to the Beverly Hills Hotel.

+
This is an “interactive theatrical production,” by the National Theater of Scotland, unleashing a company of five raucous actors and musicians to tilt your kilt in a rollicking, wildly entertaining evening of supernatural storytelling, music and theatre, inspired by the Border Ballads, Robert Burns, and the poems of Robert Service. This ballad about ballads is written with a contemporary twist and is staged with an interactive and inventive sense of fun. Life-affirming and touchingly beautiful, you don't have to be Scottish or like haggis to agree with the critics. "...more vibrantly, sexily alive than any piece of theatre I've seen in Scotland for years." ~ The Scotsman).

♪  The Guide will be making CH-CH-CHANGES – turn, embrace the change -- in 2014. Some folks will like some, others will not. There will be points of departure to make room (and time) for the new. We’ll do what we can, because as always, we operate with the editor’s motto, “One does what one can.”
