G-Style Austin Profiles Zach's Scenic Designer Michael Raiford
Via Zach Theatre's Facebook page:
Cover story in G Style magazine, Austin, March-April, 2011:
The Artist's Life
This one-time band geek works his magic onstage and off to create theatrical experiences that immerse audiences in other worlds and, in the process, open their minds.
by Christopher Carbone
photography by Michael Thad Carter
Michael Raiford is a rarity. Deeply passionate about his work in the arts, devoted in the most endearing way to the love of his life of almost 30 years, his husband Todd Logan, forthright in his belief that arts education is a key to a better society, and completely invested in squeezing joy out of every moment, Raiford is the consummate modern-day working artist.
“Iwas always a goofy, creative kid. Being raised in the deep South without a lot of culture around me, it never would have dawned on me that this is something you did,” said Michael Raiford, a set designer locally and nationally for two decades. “Iwould have said, ‘Ihave no idea, none.’”
Raiford taught graduate students at UT in the master of fine arts program and started out as a band geek (he was a drummer in high school). Growing up in Florida and being raised in a conservative Baptist household, he forged his own path.
Even so, the spark for his chosen creative path was rather surprising. Every year in Jacksonville starting when he was six years old, and continuing for the next six years, the family’s “cultural outing” was a trip to Holiday On Ice. Another version of the Icecapades, each production was a major event. Raiford saved every program and that’s where he fell in love with the showbiz spectacle of theater. “There were these big shows that were a musical review on ice,” Raiford said. “Themed numbers, big costumed shows, and full sets. It was huge and splashy and–gay.”
It was that early-on exposure to and appreciation for over-the-top theatricality that’s allowed him to excel as a set designer for Zach Scott Theatre for almost 20 years.

Upcoming: Art by Yasmina Reza, 5x4 Productions at Preas Theatre, Austin High School. February 3 - 12
Received directly:
5 by 4 Productions presents...
ART
by Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton
directed by Jenny Lavery
A Benefit to Create Theatre Scholarships at Austin High School
Larry D. Preas Theatre on the campus of Austin High School,1715 W. Cesar Chavez (click for map)
February 3 - 5, 1-12 at 8 p.m.
Tickets $10 at www.AusTix.com, or cash/check only at the door
ART centers on the relationships of three long-time friends, Serge, Marc, and Yvan, after Serge purchases an expensive work of abstract art—a large painting consisting of white lines on a white canvas. As the three men engage in an ongoing debate over the value of the painting, emotions run high and the conflict escalates to the point of nearly destroying their friendship. As Robert Hurwitt observed in a review for the San Francisco Chronicle, ‘‘Art isn’t about aesthetics but the psychological, emotional and power dynamics of friendship.’
French playwright Yasmina Reza garnered international acclaim with her play Art (1994), for which she received the 1998 Lawrence Olivier Award for best comedy, the 1998 Tony Award for best play and Molière awards for best author, best play, and best production.
NYU graduate and Austin newcomer Jenny Lavery makes her Austin directorial debut, alongside veteran actors Joe Reynolds, Kyle Odom and Billy Dragoo. Proceeds from this production will be used to create theatre scholarships for Austin High students pursuing degrees in theatre.
