Dan Fisher, a graduate of the WVU School of Theatre and Dance, will visit the Creative Arts Center on Friday, April 24 to speak to students about his career. Fisher is currently a property master for several renowned films and television shows.

Fisher will speak at 2 p.m. in the Antoinette Falbo Theatre. His talk will be followed by a question-and-answer session. All events are free and open to the public.

The talk is part of the College of Creative Arts Alumni-in-Residence Series, in which outstanding alumni of the College return to work with students.

Fisher grew up in Middlebourne, West Virginia, where he had an affinity for movies, TV, and comic books from an early age. He attended WVU from 1982 to 1986, graduating with a B.F.A. in Theatre. While living in Beckley, West Virginia, he was hired to work as a set dresser on John Sayles’ film “Matewan” and soon afterward moved to New York City to continue working in film and television production. For almost 30 years, Dan has been involved in props and set decoration on productions including “Mississippi Burning,” “The Adventures of Pete & Pete,” “Men in Black,” and “Law & Order.” In recent years, he has worked exclusively as a property master on feature films, including “Black Swan” and “American Hustle” and on television productions including Season One of HBO’s “Girls” and TNT’s upcoming “Public Morals.”
