JOE CERQUA
Joe Cerqua's (Sound Designer) music has been heard in just about every major theater in the city of Chicago, nationwide and overseas. His work has been Jeff nominated or cited for the past seven years. Mr. Cerqua was also recognized with one of the first After Dark awards. Nationally, his music was heard in the Los Angeles production of Beth Henley's Control Freaks starring Holly Hunter, Bill Pullman and Carol Kane. In New York he worked on productions of To Kill a Mockingbird and Japanese Ghost Stories. His work was also featured in shows in Cape Cod, Buffalo, and Minneapolis. In Vienna, Austria, Joe wrote original music for productions of Agnes of God, Moon For The Misbegotten, and Lettice and Lovage (starring Rue McClanahan) at the English Speaking Theater of Vienna. This summer Joe's music will be heard in Scotland at The Traverse Theater in Matt Tauber's production of The Spirit. The musicians that have played Mr. Cerqua's music read like a "who's who" of nationally known performers such as Orbert Davis, Marcos Loya, Johnny Frigo, Carol Loverde, Liz Carrol, and Winston Damen. Current projects include original compositions and sound design for the world premiere of Beth Henley's Revelers at Center Theater, The Kentucky Cycle at Pegasus Players, a musical adaptation of Carmilla and new works for the Ruth Page Dance Festival. Future projects include original music and sound design for Transformations at the Goodman Theatre and original music for A Time to Burn at the Steppenwolf Theater. Joe is the artistic Director of the Cerqua/Rivera Arts Ensemble.
