Peter Feller

Peter L. Feller (November 7, 1919 – March 13, 1998) was an American theatrical set builder who worked primarily on Broadway.

Early career Feller was a third-generation theatre technician. His grandfather and father both worked as set builders. Feller's father, also named Peter, was a stagehand at the Metropolitan Opera House. Feller joined the Army during World War II. By the mid-1970s, the studio was building sets for almost half the shows being produced on Broadway, and employed anywhere from 35 to 130 workers depending on the work-load. Feller divided his company between each of his department heads. His head sculptor, Nino Novellino, received the Christo-Vac. He worked on Fiddler on the Roof, West Side Story, Fiorello!, Cabaret, Sweeney Todd, and Cats, among other shows. In 1984, he won a Special Tony Award in recognition of his "theater stagecraft and magic". His memorial service was held at the Winter Garden Theater, where Cats was performing.
