the cake | meet the crew

It's tech week! A perfect time to introduce the hardworking team bringing the world of THE CAKE to life. We couldn't be prouder of this artistic and production team. Read on to find out what they've been working on and thinking about!

Angela Konrad - Director

Angela's love language is food, and the cast, crew, and administrative staff have all benefited from the delicious cookies, cakes, and cupcakes she's been bringing in.

Michael Hewitt - Lighting Designer

Michael is "looking very much forward to my first project at Pacific Theatre and to be working with Lauchlin again. I think this piece of cake is very relevant to today societies and what is felt from both ends of the spectrum with regard to identity and presentation."

Rick Colhoun - Sound Designer

For THE CAKE, Rick worked with actor Tariq Leslie to evoke a certain British baking competition host. He also composed original music fit for the finest reality TV show!

Props Master - Ariel Slack

"I love helping to build the world of a show. I'm especially looking forward to the challenge this script presents of making mouthwatering cakes that can withstand all the trials of onstage life. It's such a treat to work with this team as well, and I'm excited for that."

Alexandria Bay - Assistant Stage Manager

"I'm excited to tell a story that deserves to be told."

Lauchlin Johnston - Set Designer

THE CAKE is one of the more intricate set designs Lauchlin's brought to the PT stage. Keep your eyes open and you might see a few surprises along the way!

Kaitlin Williams - Costume Designer

Julia Lank - Stage Manager

"The Cake directly tackles the question that has been consuming most of my mental energy this year: how generous should we be with people who hold views we fundamentally don't understand? What about views we think are harmful? And can we expect empathy to be met with empathy?"
