JOHN
IACOVELLI (Scenic Designer, On Golden Pond) returns to The Colony after
designing the set for The Immigrant in
2008. John won the Emmy Award for his production design of the
A&E
presentation of the Tony-nominated Broadway production of Peter
Pan starring
Cathy Rigby, and he has received the LA Drama Critics’ Circle Award for
Lifetime Achievement in Scenic Design.
He has designed over 200 productions at the top regional theatres in the U.S. Locally, he has designed for the Taper, Geffen, East West Players, South Coast Repertory, and the Pasadena Playhouse, where he designed The Twilight of the Golds, which went on to Broadway. He has designed for many smaller LA theatres over the past twenty years: most recently, the acclaimed production of I Never Sang for My Father directed by Cameron Watson at the New American Theatre.
Other credits include Oedipus in Colonus, directed by Wole Solyenki for the Cultural Olympiad in Delphi, Greece; and Warner Theatricals’ Casablanca, a ballet based on the classic film for The Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
Working in film, he was the production designer on Ruby in Paradise starring Ashley Judd, and for television, he designed The Old Settler starring Phylicia Rashad and Debbie Allen and The Gin Game starring Mary Tyler Moore and Dick Van Dyke. Other TV includes Lincoln Heights, Ed, Babylon 5, Resurrection Blvd., and The Book of Daniel.
He holds an MFA from NYU, and he is on the design faculty in the Department of Theatre and Dance at UC Davis.
