UNDead in the Water

The American Victory Ship

Freelance Show Director

Viking Ocean Cruises

In 2015 Scott had the pleasure of assiting Joe Mertz Productions with the installation of the second production show cast on The Viking Star, named by CNN as "The World's Best New Cruise Ship".  The team trained and installed a cast of 8 great performers into 4 mainstage shows, 3 cabaret shows and several atmospheric entertainment moments around the ship.  

Howl-O-Scream

Busch Gardens Tampa

In 1999, Scott was lucky enough to be selected as part of a team to develop a new Fall event for Busch Gardens.  After much research and discussion, the team came up with Howl-O-Scream. He remained a part of the event for its first 15 years, acting as Supervisor, Event Manager, Creative Director and Creative Producer.  Many of the twisted concepts for haunted houses through the years started in his odd little mind.  These concepts were nurtured into into existance by teams of designers, craftsmen, costumers, make-up artists, technicians and, of course, cast members.  Scott was also the media spokesperson for the event throughout his tenure. 

WIT Improv

In 2005 Scott, Billy Martinez, Vinnie Natale, Tim Rerucha and Freddy Weisenmiller came together for the first time to explore the wacky world of improvised comedy as Whose Idea was This anyway? (The name was later shortened to WIT...just because)  The cast has changed over the years, but the irreverent approach to "on-the-spot" comedy has not.  2015 will mark the 10 year anniversary of WIT Improv and it is still one of the most envigorating performance experiences of Scott's career. 

Iceploration

Busch Gardens Tampa

Scott took on the role of Producer for this ground breaking ice show which features world-class skaters, high flying acrobats, live animals and larger than life puppets.  The many elements of this complex production kept everyone on their toes.  Writer/Director Sherilyn Draper created this beautiful story and gave the team of creative designers and gifted performers a place to "play" on stage.  The dynamic look of the show is clearly defined by the imaginative costume designs of multiple Tony award winner, Gregg Barnes.  This Show took home 2 IAAPA Brass Ring Awards in 2012 for Best Sports Show and The Heart Beat award.

Angels of Peace

Busch Gardens Tampa

When the park was looking for a new ice show for their 2012 Christmas Town event, Scott brought Angels of Peace to the table. In the first presentation of the narrative and suggested music, the team knew they had something special.  Working with Rick and Michi Porter and their wonderful skaters the show took on a life of its own.  Chris Lau's simplistically stunning lighting design took the show to a whole new level.  The team was especially proud when the show won the 2014 IAAPA Heart Beat award which  
"...recognizes the show that demonstrates superior overall ability in reaching the hearts of its audience."

The All New Captain Kangaroo

Fox Family Channel/Saban Entertainment

Scott was lucky enough to be part of the Treasure House family for more than 40 episodes of this award winning childrens program as the puppeteer for both Bunny Rabbit and Grandfather Clock. He also brought life to both of these characters for 40 episodes of the spin off Mr. Mooses Funtime and 2 different computer games related to the series.

"It's excellent… the show has warmth and charm…"

Summer Nights

Busch Gardens Tampa

The Summer of 2003 brought one of the largest parkwide consumer events to Busch Gardens.  It was called Summer Nights. Atmosphere entertainment and concerts made the guests very much aware that it was "...a whole new park after dark!"  Scott was the Special Projects Manager for this event and was involved with both the creative development and operation.  Summer Nights continues to be a very special event at Busch Gardens.
