Phantom of the Opry
Michele Fritz | Scenic Designer & Visual Artist
Original Play Written by Tim Williams | Dragon Lake Productions
For The Phantom of the Opry, Michele Fritz brings her experience as a painter, designer and multidisciplinary artist to the creation of an imaginative theatrical environment that combines Gothic fantasy, vintage television and outrageous comedy.
As the production's scenic designer, Michele develops the overall visual concept, designs theatrical environments and creates original props and decorative elements. Working alongside Richard Fritz, she also participates in scenic construction, transforming everyday materials and repurposed objects into theatrical scenery.
Her particular strength lies in the details that give a production its character: inventive props, hand-painted surfaces, decorative treatments and unexpected visual elements that contribute to both storytelling and theatrical illusion.
The production demonstrates Michele's expanded artistic practice, moving beyond traditional painting into environmental design, three-dimensional construction and performance. Her work explores how visual art can become an active part of theatrical storytelling, creating environments and objects that performers interact with and that transform throughout a live production.
