"Spare A Dime...is a testimony to the resilience of the American people."
George Muller, Lighting and Sound Designer for Spare a Dime, has always relished tales of reinvention. "Spare A Dime is more than just the story of the Great Depression and the implosion of an economic bubble," Muller said. "It is the story of how people and government cooperated to pull the country up to a more stable footing against all odds. It is a testimony to the resilience of the American people."
Muller started his career in the urban theater scene of the 1970s. Upon finishing his undergraduate education at Temple University’s School of Communication and Theater, he was attracted to the rapidly developing technical side of the entertainment market. Muller worked with some of the biggest acts of the 80s including the first Live Aid show at Veteran’s Stadium in Philadelphia, and provided technical supervision to national tours of musicals and comedies. During the late 80s and early 90s, Muller was also Technical Manager of Yellow Springs Institute, an international residency developing new art in multiple genres, working with avant-garde composers like Tan Dun and performance artists like Guillermo Gomez-Peña. After Yellow Springs closed its doors in 1995, Muller decided to hang up his road shoes. He designed and managed new technical systems for Longwood Gardens, as well as being resident lighting and sound designer for the organization's entertainment programs. In 2007, Muller was appointed Manager of Production, Operations, and Artistic Administration for Peter Nero and the Philly Pops. He was promoted to Director of Operations in 2012.
