Technical Production Accomplishments

Summer Stock Stage

Since the summer of 2023, I have been working with Summer Stock Stage as one of their lighting designers. For the 2023 and 2024 seasons, I worked with their Academy students (ages 8 -13), designing Alice and Wonderland, Finding Nemo Jr., Music Man Jr., and Madagascar. For the 2025 season, I was also the lighting designer for their Mainstage production of Hadestown and Ragtime. These shows have a tight turnaround time, which helped me hone my efficiency at programming, designing, and running shows.

Indiana Repertory Theatre

During the 2022 to 2023 season, I served as the Audio and Video Engineer. The adjacent slide show designates which productions I helped on versus which ones I was the Lead Audio Engineer on. My primary responsibilities included: building final QLAB show files, installing speakers, mixing live show feeds for in-ear elements and microphones, interfaced and assisted guest designers, and communicated audio and video needs to production staff. 

IndyFringe Festival

For the 2021 IndyFringe Festival, I was able to serve as the Stage Manager and Production Designer for a new work called "Climate Follies". I coordinated actor schedules and travel accommodations, created props using recycled products, coordinated production needs with staff at the Old National Center, and worked with the playwright to ensure edits and updates were communicated to actors.

Schrott Center for the Arts

From 2019 to 2022, I worked at Schrott Center for the Arts while pursuing my undergraduate degree. I worked on a variety of productions that were either from the university or touring shows stopping in Indianapolis. Highlights from my time here included becoming the In-House Lighting Engineer and Designer, designing and programming the lights for Steve-o's Bucket List tour stop, and reprogramming the Crankgameplays tour lights so that the show would work with our equipment. My primary responsibilities included interfacing with the electricians on touring productions to set up their equipment, programming lights on ETC consoles, and running our live-streaming equipment on Blackmagic Design's ATEM controller and OBS software.
