MY LIFE IN "PLAID"
To contact Morgan about directing your production of Forever Plaid or Plaid Tidings, CLICK HERE. Before Morgan began directing Forever Plaid and Plaid Tidings, he played all four Plaids, understudied all four roles (at the same time), served as ASM (working the tracks for both wings), Dance Captain, and did wardrobe on various productions of the show. Morgan has directed or performed sixteen different productions of Forever Plaid or Plaid Tidings in large performing arts centers, regional and stock theatres across America. Here’s a look at a few of Morgan’s Plaids… thus far.

Directed by Morgan Sills
Musical Direction by Michael McAssey
with Drew Bolander, Austin Green, Tim Russell, Matt Savoca
“This show, if you’ll pardon the expression, rocks. Director Morgan Sills, who has played all four roles in this show, keeps it spunky, taut and fast-paced. The delivery of lines is perfect, quick and funny. They make every line lean and mean, they cavort, they dance, they juggle. They even involve the audience. This show is fun.” --Martha Keravuori and Chuck Galle, BOOM NC
