Seth Monhollon grew up in Abilene, TX. After graduating from Baylor University with a BFA in Theatre Performance, he moved to Dallas and immediately began work at WaterTower Theatre. There, he built the sets for their 2015-2016 season: Sweet Charity; the world premiere of Creep; Sexy Laundry; The Lord of the Flies; The Big Meal; and Outside Mullingar.
After that, he took an apprenticeship with Theatre Three, where he dabbled in a myriad of fields. As apprentice, he constructed sets for The Novelist; The Wedding Singer; the regional premiere of Laugh; Passing Strange; and A Little Night Music. That season, he took on the roles of Assistant Stage Manager and Properties Master for Susan and God and the world premiere of Daylight. After Theatre Three’s 2016-2017 season, Seth was asked to become the Assistant Technical Director. As ATD, he worked side-by-side with the Technical Director to construct the sets for The Minotaur; Adding Machine: A Musical; I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change!; Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; and She Kills Monsters.
Seth is also an actor in the area: his voice can be heard in One Piece and Fairy Tail from FUNimation Productions, and he has been seen in various roles at Theatre Three, Shakespeare Dallas, Genesis Children’s Theatre, and Edge Dance Performing Arts. Seth is ecstatic to call PCA his home!
