Today we’re on the line with The 2020 KM Fabrics, Inc. Technical Production Award winner Dashiell Menard.

Dashiell is currently a Technical Designer at Showman fabricators in New Jersey where he does Technical design and construction drafting across the spectrum of the entertainment industry. There he works with a team of Technical Designers, Project Managers, and Lead Carpenters to realize theater, film, and TV studio sets, retail displays, and art installations for a variety of clients.

Dashiell believes that Theater is storytelling, and all of us should be working together towards the goal of telling a story. He says the tremendous array of skills necessary to execute a modern theatrical performance means that no one person can do every job required to tell that story, and when it works right is a truly beautiful thing to be a part of.
