Peter has significant experience in live environments, as well as post-edit events and is adept in both.
In Peter’s production beginnings, he honed his art in theatre. Learning the roles and intricacies of each of a theatrical designer’s tools, he was able to create some of the most memorable scenes each production organization had seen. It was here that he learned his role in collaborative production and proved his abilities. Since his introduction, he has worked extensively with Washington Ballet, Washington Opera, The Shakespeare Theatre, London City Opera, The Kennedy Center and more. Peter varied his theatrical experiences by constantly changing his production role, serving as designer, director, technician, or producer – eagerly soaking up all of the lessons from each role and learning the path to success in theatrical production. Peter continues his involvement in theatre to this day by passing on his love of it to secondary school children by directing in area schools.
Today, Peter and his company Staged Right Productions are a common sight at Embassy Row, The US Capitol, the World Bank, Federal Agencies, Museums and more. His clientele is a veritable list of who’s-who on the international scene; with high level politicians and diplomats, athletic superstars, recording artists, international organizations, and international companies.
