Glimmerglass Festival
In the Summer of 2014 I was hired for a professional internship by one of the most prestigious Opera companies in the country. I worked in Stage Operations, where we were responsible for running 4 operas in rep from backstage. Besides run crew we also changed over between shows everyday and sometimes twice a day, striking and storing one show and loading in the next multi million dollar set and lighting arrangement. Also providing carpentry, lighting, prop, and costume support, this internship gave me priceless experience working in a fast paced, no excuses, corporate environment.

I will be returning to Dell’ Arte’s Mad River Festival for the third consecutive year in the position of Assistant Technical Director. My main responsibilities include lighting design for close to ten original pieces of theatre in a one month window, carpentry and electrics support, and run crew for the festivals many events.
