Edward Check teaches set and production design for theatre and film. He recently worked on Sex And The City: The Movie as the art director of the film. During the HBO series he art-directed the first four seasons of the show, at which time he received two Emmy nominations for Best Art Direction.
During previous summers he has designed sets for Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, MA (Hamlet, The Merry Wives of Windsor, The Taming of the Shrew, and King John). His designs for Hamlet will go on a national tour this fall. At New Century Theatre, here in Northampton, design credits include Crumbs From the Table of Joy, The Heidi Chronicles, How The Other Half Lives, and Copenhagen.
Last year, between designs for theatre and film, he worked on a permanent exhibition space at the Flynt Center of Early New England Life in Historic Deerfield, MA. The show, Celebrating the Fiber Arts, displayed the historic textile collection owned by the museum. His assistant art director credits for film include Spiderman, Family Man, Meet Joe Black, The First Wives Club, Batman Forever, Nobody's Fool, Quiz Show, and Six Degrees of Separation. Earlier in his career he designed in regional theatre as well as assisted on Broadway. He is a graduate of the Yale School of Drama and State University of New York, College at Purchase.
