Bessie) for visual design, and in 1998, he was nominated for an American Theater Wing Design award for his set design for his music theater piece The Shoulder  (music by Dan Moses Schreier). His piece Hiroshima Maiden, with an Obie award winning score by Robert Een, premiered at St. Ann's Warehouse in 2004 and was awarded a UNIMA citation of excellence (Union Internationale de la Marionette).
