J Hagenbuckle

This crazy train has taken him On and Off Broadway, to London, many Boston and Regional theaters including 13 seasons at The Berkshire Theater Festival, 11 seasons at Commonwealth Shakespeare Company, 10 years at Hartford TheaterWorks. Along the way he was the first sound designer to receive Boston’s Elliot Norton Award for Outstanding Designer, he’s an NEA/TCG Design Fellow and earned an MFA in Theater Arts from Brandeis.
