Elaine J. McCarthy is one of the most popular and richest Designer who was born on May 11, 1966 in Woburn, ****. She was born in Woburn, Massachusetts May 11, 1966 and grew up in nearby Arlington, Massachusetts.
McCarthy was nominated for the Henry Hewes Design Award in 2009 for Notable Effects for Frequency Hopping produced by the Hourglass Group at the 3LD Arts & Technology Center in New York City for which she designed both the scenery and projections. The production was noted for its use of a fully robotic orchestra as well as McCarthy’s utilization of Musion Eyeliner, which is a modern version of the 19th century Pepper’s Ghost effect.
McCarthy held an administrative job in the early years of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab, where she learned about computers. “I was exposed to the most bleeding-edge technology and everybody in that environment had a point of view to add, whether you were a tenured professor, or, like me, a glorified secretary — it was all part of the mix. That was my first exposure to a barrier-free environment.” This experience led her to the MIT Community Players which was her first exposure to the idea of theater as a potential career. After that she worked with an experimental theater company, the Pilgrim Theater Research and Performance Collaborative. While stage managing for them at the Edinburgh Festival it became clear to her that she wished to pursue a career in theater. She eventually worked her way to New York City working as a design assistant to noted projection designer Wendall K. Harrington through whose studio many of today’s top projection design practitioners have passed. This is where she saw her varied interests in technology, art, design, photography, architecture, film and theater come together in one discipline, projection design for theater.”
In the Fall of 2015 McCarthy returned to the Dallas Opera to design projections for the world premier production of Great Scott, a new opera by Jake Heggie and Terrence McNally directed by Jack O’Brien with Sets and Costumes by Bob Crowley and Lighting by Brian MacDevitt .
McCarthy was nominated for Best Video Design for Entertainment Today’s Ticketholder Award in 2007 for the Center Theatre Group’s World Premier production of Lisa Loomer’s play Distracted at the Mark Taper Forum for which she designed both Sets and Projections
