When event producers are alerted to a
Papal visit in the US, who do they call for
scenic design? René Lagler. The longtime
ADG member has worked with Pope John
Paul II, Pope Benedict, and now, in 2015,
Pope Francis. Producer Scott Mirkin of
Philadelphia's ESM Productions was the
one who made the call to René in regards
to the Pope's visit to Philadelphia.
