Grease
I contributed to the sound production for the musical "Grease." This involved addressing technical issues related to amplifiers and musical instruments for the live band. Additionally, I assisted with the public address (PA) system and speakers to enhance the overall sound quality of the performance. During the production, I also provided support for cast members using headset microphones, troubleshooting any technical challenges that arose before and during the live performance.

The Lighting Thief : The Percy Jackson Musical
I served as the lead lighting designer, technician, and board operator for *The Lightning Thief*. Collaborating closely with the director, music director, sound engineer, and cast, I designed and executed the lighting scenes that brought the show to life. During one of the performances, a minor lighting issue arose, but I quickly resolved it to ensure it didn’t impact the remaining cues or the overall flow of the production. Achieving the desired lighting effects involved mounting new fixtures, which required routing cables under the stage and climbing trusses to install and adjust lights and other fixtures.

Beauty and the Beast
I was the follow spot operator for Beauty and the Beast, tracking the main performers based on cues from the director through comms headsets. In addition to operating the spotlight, I assisted the technical team with setup tasks like smoke machines and lighting adjustments. With a cast of over 30 and a tech crew of around 8, this was one of the largest productions I’ve worked on, providing a great experience in stage lighting and teamwork.

Sister Act
I was the primary sound engineer for Sister Act, responsible for FOH mixing, wireless microphone management, and overall system configuration. My duties included RF coordination, gain staging, and monitoring signal integrity throughout each performance. I performed nightly battery replacement for all wireless transmitters to ensure uninterrupted operation. During the run, we encountered intermittent issues with wireless belt packs and headset mics, which I diagnosed and resolved efficiently to minimize downtime and maintain audio fidelity.
