Theatrical Portfolio
This portfolio of sorts includes all productions I have worked on in recent days, including those where I was a supervisor / coordinator from the facility side and not on the immediate production team. As the Operations Supervisor for the Calderwood Pavilion, I am still intimately involved with pre-production, installation, and operation of all the shows listed.

Awards and Recognition
Cohen Award [Spring 2020]
Gerry and Sherry Cohen have long been active supporters of the Huntington Theatre Company and currently both serve as Trustees. They graciously established the Gerard & Sherryl Cohen Awards for Excellence because of their deep respect for Huntington staff. The purpose of the award is to recognize, on an annual basis, two employees who go above and beyond in their contribution, and who work to make excellence a habit. The recipients of this award each year are selected by their peers in recognition of consistently going above and beyond expectations.Â
Taylor was honored by the faculty and staff of the Fairport Central School District's drama and arts departments, especially that of Martha Brown Middle School, for tireless dedication to the betterment of theatrical productions and spaces throughout his time in middle and high school.
