Tony Straiges

He designed the sets for the stage musical Meet Me in St. Louis at the Irish Repertory Theatre in 2006.

Frank Rich wrote that the set was "fantastic", and "What Mr. Lapine, his designers and the special-effects wizard Bran Ferren have arranged is simply gorgeous.

[13] Frank Rich wrote of the set "The designer, Tony Straiges, transports us from a mock-proscenium set redolent of 19th-century picturebook illustration into a thick, asymmetrical, Sendakesque woods whose Rorschach patterns, eerily lighted by Richard Nelson, keep shifting to reveal hidden spirits and demons.

[15] A sample of productions for that theatre included The Rise And Fall Of The City Of Mahogonny (1974), Troilus And Cressida (1976), and Tales From The Vienna Woods (1978).

[16] His work for Center Stage, Baltimore, Maryland included Lady Windermere's Fan in 2004[17] and On the Verge, or the Geography of Yearning in 1984.
