Introduction

Light that serves the story, and paperwork that survives tech.

I design and run lighting for theatre. Four seasons of professional electrics sit behind every plot I draft: summer stock, outdoor stages and corporate events, including load-ins and board work at the United Nations with United Stage Associates. My own designs include The Comedy of Errors and The Wolves, with video design for Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.

I am a BFA Theatre Design/Technology candidate at Western Connecticut State University and a Staff Electrician at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor, NY, where I have worked on eleven productions since 2024. At WestRep Stage I have designed two productions and worked technical and assistant design roles on others.

Software

Wer, a recorder for lighting techs.

Software that I developed for overlaying Eos cue information over a camera feed using OSC. It burns the cue number and label, the fade, the command line and the clock into the picture. A marker goes in on every cue the desk fires and comes out as a chapter in the file, so a recording of a tech can be scrubbed to a cue number afterwards instead of guessed at. Runs on Windows 10 and 11 with nothing to install first, and is free and open source under the GPL.
