SCOT
WHITNEY,
Adaptor/Lyricist/Director

Scot
is one of the founders of Harlequin Productions (1991) and serves
as its Managing Artistic Dirctor. He was an obsessive filmmaker
for many years, but found great relief from that malady by becoming
an obsessive theater director. Favorite directing projects include
THE LONESOME WEST, THE LADY'S NOT FOR BURNING, KING JOHN, THE
WEIR, DRACULA, HAPGOOD, SIXTEEN WORDS FOR WATER, CYRANO DE BERGERAC,
THE TEMPEST, THE WINTER'S TALE, WAITING FOR GODOT, CYMBELINE,
THE TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA, HAMLET and, of course, RR12N--for
the third time now. He has won numerous awards for film and
theater direction, and for his leadership in the State Theater
project. Two of his productions--THE TEMPEST and HAPGOOD--are
included in the permanent collection at the Theatre on Film
and Tape Archive at the Lincoln Center in New York. |

Night. He has also musically directed numerous shows, including

and STARDUST SERENADE. Growing up with classical music, spending

TESC. |

DARREN
MILLS,
Costume, Hair & Makeup Designer
 |
Darren
was sucked into theater quite suddenly when he heard about
the concept for RR12N while cutting the Artistic Director's
hair in 1997. He immediately offered to design Olivia's wigs.
Within a week he had claimed the realm of all hair, wigs and
makeup for the show, then claimed the same role for every
project Harlequin produced for two years. He then took on
costume design as well, designing THE REAL THING, FOREVER
STARDUST, ASSASSINS, SWINGTIME STARDUST, MURDER IN THE CATHEDRAL,
SYLVIA, THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD, STARDUST RADIO REVIEW,
ROUGH CROSSING and our 1999 production of A ROCK'N'ROLL TWELFTH
NIGHT. In 2001 he moved to New York, attracted by Broadway,
and promptly went to work on THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, moved
to THE MUSIC MAN, then was hired away to design wigs for MAMA
MIA! from which he has taken a brief respite to design and
build RR12N again from the ground up. Darren also recently
designed costumes for TITANIC at University of Michigan.
