We Are... Dead State!, Penn State School of Theatre, Fall 2009

While I was officially the Assistant Lighting Designer for We Are... Dead State!, the Penn State themed Haunted House, My main role was the Lighting/Midi Programmer. In this role, I took an Expression 3, four midi to relay circuit boards (that I assembled), a Mac Mini running QLab, 8 security cameras and two monitor screens for them and assembled the command and control systems for the Haunted House. I built the system from the ground up, networked everything and programmed the lights, pneumatics and Sound Effects to synchronize them and allow them to be controlled from a Yamaha Midi Keyboard.

The whole show was programmed on ETCs EOS Console.

Oklahoma, Mainstage Center for the Arts, Summer 2007

As Master Electrician for Oklahoma, I maintained the Rep Plot, which was also used for the children's shows in the morning shows, plus added specials as needed for Oklahoma. Since this is a small theatre company, I also programmed the show for the designer. The show included 2 StudioSpot 575s and was programmed on an ETC Express 125.
