Moyer worked for the first time on Broadway for the 1996 revival of Tartuffe. He has since designed sets for thirteen more Broadway shows, notably winning an Obie Award and garnering Tony Award and Drama Desk Award nominations for his work on the 2006 musical Grey Gardens.[1] He was also nominated for a Drama Desk Award in 1999 for his set design in the play That Championship Season.
He also designed the Delibes ballet SYLVIA for The San Francisco Ballet, and ROMEO AND JULIET: ON MOTIFS OF SHAKESPEARE (for the Mark Morris Dance Group) both choreographed by Mr. Morris.[2]
In 2014, he was awarded Penn State's Arts and Architecture Alumni Award from the School of Theatre.
