Subversive Theatre family as Resident Set Designer. With Subversive
Theatre, Dyan served as Set Designer for our Artie Award-winning production of WAITING FOR LEFTY (Jan-Feb

former Kitchen Distribution Warehouse into a Spanish prison during the
Franco Dictatorship.

new performance space The Manny Fried Playhouse in the Fall
of 2008, Dyan served as both Set
and Costume Designer for our debut production of PALACE OF THE END
and then crafted both Set and Lighting Design for our following production
of DROP
HAMMER. She provided the Set & Poster Design for OUROBOROS,
the Set Design for WATERBOARDING BLUES and sUBVERsIVE sHORTs 2009
