Set designer John Lee Beatty discusses the business of design, intricacies of retirement planning, and the importance of talking about finances. A titan of American theatre, John Lee Beatty designed his first Broadway show in 1976. It was the play Knock, Knock. 44 years later, his most recent design is Plaza Suite, which hasn’t officially opened because of the COVID 19 shutdown.The total count of his Broadway designs is 115. He has won two Tony Awards, one for Tally’s Folly in 1980 and the second for The Nance in 2013. He has received an additional 13 Tony nominations, has won 5 Drama Desk awards, and has been nominated for 10 more. Some of those Broadway credits are Ain’t Misbehavin’, The Odd Couple, Other Desert Cities, The Color Purple, and the 1996 revival of Chicago, which is the second longest running Broadway musical of all time, only behind The Phantom of the Opera. John Lee has also designed more than 70 shows at Manhattan Theatre Club and more than 66 productions of Encores! at City Center. Additionally he has designed for tours, West End, and regional productions. He has also made a reputation of working on new plays, which constitutes the bulk of his portfolio and given way to what he is known for: house interiors and exteriors and their attached gardens. John Lee Beatty - IBDB Profilehttps://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/john-lee-beatty-26041#Credits Artistic Finance Show Page::https://www.artisticfinance.com/episode/OpgExflo4ya6zwKeU8k1 Youtube Link:https://youtu.be/QqZzORzV1j8 USA 829 - Design Union:https://www.usa829.org/ USA 829 Pension Plan & 401k Plan - some light reading!http://usa829funds.benserconj.com/ Elite Tax Service - Company that files JLB's taxes:https://www.manta.com/c/mm57rf5/elite-tax-service-inc AARP Magazine:https://www.aarp.org/magazine/ What is a mutual fund?https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/mutualfund.asp Santo Loquasto - JLB is the "poor man's Santo Loquasto":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santo_Loquasto Ken Billington - lighting designer of Chicago:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Billington Jane Greenwood - Costume Designer (was married to Ben Edwards):https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Greenwood Ben Edwards - Set Designer (was married to Jane Greenwood):https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/ben-edwards-21271 John Singer Sargent - Painter:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Singer_Sargent Eduard Vuillard - Painter:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89douard_Vuillard Franz Kline - Painter:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Kline Links from the Patron only episode: Broadway Design Exchange - signed John Lee Beatty renderings for sale:https://www.broadwaydesignexchange.com/collections/john-lee-beatty Ming Cho Lee - Stage designer - JLB's professor at Yale:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming_Cho_Lee Jo Mielziner - Stage designer:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Mielziner Robert Edmond Jones - Stage designer - Author of The Dramatic Imagination:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Edmond_Jones Max Reinhardt - Theatre and Film Director:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Reinhardt Peter Kaczorowski's interview from Episode 1:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0-hPMIYRAY&ab_channel=ArtisticFinance?sub_confirmation=1 Interview by Ethan Steimel Become a patron at:www.patreon.com/artisticfinance www.artisticfinance.comwww.patreon.com/artisticfinanceinstagram.com/artisticfinancetwitter.com/ethansteimelfacebook.com/artisticfinanceyoutube.com/artisticfinance
