STELLA FRAZER
SCENIC DESIGN

ABOUT
Stella Frazer (she/they) is a scenic designer, marketer, and artist currently based in the Finger Lakes region of New York State and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.Originally from Naples, NY, she is currently pursuing a B.F.A. in Theatre Production: Design at Point Park University’s Conservatory of Performing Arts, with an emphasis in scenic design, painting, and properties. Theatre has always been their home; her passion for crafting immersive environments for both classic and contemporary stories is rooted in a deeply collaborative and research-driven approach. She believes that strong scenic design should not only be shaped by storytelling but also challenge, engage, and surprise audiences.With experience as a designer, technician, and director, she strives to elevate stories centering queer and otherwise marginalized voices, ensuring that the worlds she builds are as bright and nuanced as the characters who inhabit them.Her portfolio showcases a wide range of work, from intimate black-box productions to large-scale proscenium theaters, reflecting both independent student projects and professionally produced works. She is particularly interested in new works, education in the arts, and especially how they can be combined.Outside of theatre, they are a passionate advocate for diversity, accessibility, neurodivergence, and anti-racism—both on and off the stage. A lover of cats, film, and hard rock, they find inspiration in the bold, the theatrical, and the unexpected.
PERSONAL PROJECTS
As a student and technician I will often document projects I complete both for classes and independently.
Below is a developing gallery of some of those projects.
Traditional trompe l'oeil cartouche completed for an independent study in scenic painting, utilizing Rosco paints.
Study of painting on transparent materials (scrim and plexi glass) for a stained glass treatment. Completed for an independent study in scenic painting with Rosco paints & various other materials.
Built from scratch in my Props II class, involved carpentry, molding/casting, spray paint, and photoshopping a composite image.
