Directing
Tick tick… Boom!
Dylan finished the summer of 2019 by directing Tick Tick… BOOM! by Jonathan Larson. Tick Tick… BOOM! is the rock monologue turned stage play that follows Jonathan Larson as he struggles with turning 30 and wondering if he should continue pursuing art or quit and settle down like everyone else in his life has done. This was the first full length show Dylan has directed and the first musical that they have directed too. Tick Tick… BOOM! was the first ever fully student produced musical at Ohlone College, being produced by Dylan and The Entertainment Arts Guild.

Stage managed by Artie Peralez, scenic design by David Jeffries, lighting design by Cameron Bradford, sound design by Patrick Smith, costume design by Gillian Bong, music direction by Krissy Weston, vocal direction by Omar Gomez, and Choreography by Taylor Braaten.
