Greetings!!

Hey! My name's Chris and I'm a student studying Lighting Design at E.C. Glass High School in Lynchburg, VA. I have the deepest passion for theatre and lighting design and hope to pursue a career in this field.

I've just completed my Junior year and have designed 6 productions educationally and one dance performance "professionally". Last summer I completed an internship with Muhlenberg Summer Music theatre in Allentown, PA. I've worked with several professional designers on our annual production of The Nutcracker which is produced in collaboration with Virginia School of the Arts and in VSA's annual dance performance. Our theatre program produces 7 shows in a season, one being The Nutcracker. That and another show are produced in the E.C. Glass Civic Auditorium which seats nearly 2,200. The opportunities provided by this space and by the excellent theatre program are astounding and I'm so glad to be a part of it all.

I've been reading the forums on ControlBooth for about 2 years (haha) and have just now decided to join and become a part of this! The resources and expertise provided in the various threads around the site have provided me with so much knowledge and opinions on design and electrics technique.

So, I'll head over to the "...Pictures of Your Shows" thread real soon and post some of my work!

Looking forward to posting!
Thanks guys!
