My responsibilities for this show included hanging, cabling, and focusing lighting instruments. For performances, I was the light board operator and oversaw pre-show and post-show procedures for my department. In preparation for each performance I charged batteries and inserted them to street lamps that were used during the show. I also helped with the wiring and electrification of marquees.

THE ALEXA PROJECT
The Penn State School of Theatre has sought creative ways to produce shows during the COVID-19 pandemic. In November of 2020, I worked amongst a group of fellow students to devise an audiovisual interactive piece that was produced for a limited number of spectators. We produced "The Alexa Project" where spectators had to use their smartphones to stop the Alexa Smart Theatre from taking over the world. I served as the Master Electrician and Assistant Lighting Designer.

3D Drafting
This set was originally designed by Milagros Ponce De León for The Fords Theatre and their production of Ragtime. I modeled this set in Vectorworks for an advanced drafting class at Penn State University. The color renderings are done with Twinmotion. The colors and textures in Twinmotion are not an exact replica of the design but rather a near equivalent.
