Lighting Consultant

HOW I HELPED

As an outside consultant, I helped SYT design a standard rep plot for their University-Midway performance and rehearsal space. We worked through budgets and long- and short-term goals and collaborated on control, instrumentation, positions, and labor.

SYT STARTED, LIKE MOST GREAT THINGS

– through the passion, hard work, and plucky inspiration of moms. Two moms, to be exact. Together, they formed SYT with the simple goal of providing their kids and other teens in the community a space to perform Shakespeare’s works. So, in summer 2004, they got to work building a community of families, volunteers, and professional theater-makers to produce SYT’s inaugural production: A Midsummer Nights Dream. And then they did it again. And again.
