The ESTA Foundation announces its 2012 Behind the Scenes Holiday Cards, created by an impressive lineup of all-star designers -- John Lee Beatty, Michael Curry, Ralph Funicello, Andrew Hefter, Cindy White, and David Zinn.

John Lee Beatty is nominated for a 2012 Tony Award for Other Desert Cities. His other Broadway shows this season include Venus in Fur, The Columnist, and Don't Dress for Dinne. He has designed almost one hundred Broadway shows and been nominated for 14 Tony Awards.

Ralph Funicello has designed over 250 productions throughout North America. He is an associate artist at the Old Globe Theatre and has worked extensively with the Mark Taper Forum, South Coast Rep, Seattle Rep, and the American Conservatory Theatre where he was director of design. Annual favorite, and recent Savannah College of Art and Design graduate, Andrew Hefter is back with a stunning new photograph of the Winspear Opera House chandelier shot especially for Behind the Scenes.

Cindy White's theme park conceptual design, illustration, and art direction has been featured in top attractions in Disney parks, Universal Studios, Radio City Music Hall, Busch Gardens, and more. Costume and scenic designer David Zinn's work has graced the Broadway stage in Seminar, Other Desert Cities, Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo, and In the Next Room, among others as well as many Off-Broadway, regional, and opera productions.
