Teri Bergendahl, who is currently the Props Designer for the record-breaking production of Drinking Habits running through March 23rd, now in the Sunset Spotlight.
- When did you first become involved at Sunset Playhouse and what areas have you been involved with here at the Playhouse?
I’ve attended a few shows and cabarets at Sunset over the years. My introduction as a props designer for Sunset was SAVANNAH SIPPING SOCIETY in 2024. I’m grateful for that invitation!
- If you are working on a Sunset show right now, what is your role?
Currently, I’m Properties Designer for DRINKING HABITS.
- If an actor, what has been your favorite role to date and what is your dream role? If a Production Team member, which show have you most enjoyed working on? What show would you like to do in the future?
I truly enjoyed working on SAVANNAH SIPPING SOCIETY as it was challenging, creative and kept me busy! I learned the art of making fabulous faux cocktails, and I adored the gorgeous setting Randa’s veranda! I also enjoyed decorating the set for THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE as it was unique from other work I had done.
- What do you enjoy most about the Sunset?
Sunset is such a positive place to be. It’s about the people – staff, production teams, actors/artists, patrons. I’ve learned so much here, and I appreciate the sense of community that is so evident.
- When not at Sunset, how do you spend your time?
Time is well spent with grandchildren, creating in my gardens or reading. I enjoy coffee dates and adventures!
- What is your favorite color/food/movie/TV show/book/musical or play?
My favorite musical is whatever I’m attending in that moment! I absolutely love musicals – LES MISERABLES and HADESTOWN are among my favorites.
What is your favorite quote?
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou
- Any other comments?
I’m grateful to be connected to the Sunset community and to have theater in my life! This is a relatively new stage for me, and I hope to share my gifts for a long time.
