"What a show... Mingle with the Broadway folks. Great conversations. It's our first time for Clear-Com. Hard to imagine considering how long we've been at this intercom gig. Seeing the young and "older" at the Master Classes and the enthusiasm they bring made my weekend. More important, if you listen, even an old feller like me will learn something.The future is bright on Broadway. I know, I saw it at the Broadway Sound Master Classes!" About Abe Jacob, Creative Consultant
"Sound is the most subjective of all theatre design disciplines. Therefore, knowing what to listen for is as important as the system design itself. With the Broadway Sound Master Classes, we will attempt to address both matters in an informative and entertaining manner. Join us for this exciting and important educational event."
Sound designer Abe Jacob, considered by many to be the "godfather" of contemporary sound design, serves as creative consultant to the BSMC. He got his start in San Francisco mixing sound for such 60s rock stars as Jimi Hendrix, the Mamas and the Papas, and Peter Paul and Mary, and designed the sound system for the Monterey Pop Festival. A legendary sound designer for theatre and opera, a tireless champion of union representation for his fellow artisans, and a 2000 EDDY Award winner, Jacob designed the sound for such seminal Broadway shows as Jesus Christ Superstar, A Chorus Line, Pippin, Chicago, Cats, and Evita, virtually creating the position of sound designer in the process. In the past 15 years, Jacob has helped secure a charter for sound designers within IATSE (Local 922); and in 1993 he helped the Local achieve its first collective bargaining agreement with the League of American Theatres and Producers. In 1999, he helped merge the sound designers with IATSE Local One. Tuition & FeesTuition & Registration: Save $100 if you register before April 15, 2008
