Director Andy Jensen asked me to stage manage this show in 2006 - about a touring band of queer professional wrestlers in the 1970’s… PILEDRIVER! had been a big success in a previous production at Re-Bar in Seattle and this larger scale production was a delight.

The cast was incredible and really did professional wrestling moves in the ring — including a longer wrestling montage series where it was mini wrestling scenes in quick succession… bam! bam! bam!

Some great sound design as well, I always looked forward to coming back from intermission as our hype up song to get back into it was “Suffragette City” and I got to take the house-to-half cue right at “Wham, bam, thank you m’am!”

I was busy stage managing so not a whole lot of photos from this production except these few I took pre-show one evening.
