SiX Boleyn Tour 2.0 is on the road in DC and set up for the rest of its run. This tech was a tremendously fun experience, and it was a pleasure to work with the entire team on this!

The Hemsley Internship this summer was an incredible educational experience and unforgettable series of shows. The team was so fun to work with, and I learned so much from lighting designer Paul Miller and associate lighting designer Jacob Zedek. Working with them taught me much about lighting for commerical theatre and gave many chances to practice. The season was vibrant, diverse, and full of unique challenges from show to show.

1. West Side Story
2. The Color Purple
3. The Music Man
4. Young Frankenstein
5. Seussical!
