Electrics
The Lighting Department works closely with designers, scenic departments, stage management, and props to craft the visual atmosphere of our rotating-rep festival season, including building the set / props practicals. Using ETC systems, conventional and intelligent fixtures, they bring bold designs to life in the unique environment of the Blank Performing Arts Center. It’s a fast-paced, collaborative, and genuinely fun team that offers exceptional hands-on workplace skills development opportunity for both staff and interns.
Testimonials
Kate Ashton
Lighting Designer
“The lighting team at DMMO is really special - I love how we all work together to achieve three completely different environments. From designers to technicians, I feel like it is always a collaboration, and that I’m supported enough to dream big artistically. It’s a great place for everyone to learn the valuable skill of “lighting rep,” and we always make time for this to be an educational experience for each member of the team through portfolio reviews, resume workshops, and team meals where we discuss all aspects of the industry. Through the years, I have been lucky enough for many of these relationships that started at DMMO to continue both for subsequent summers and also in other venues and work opportunities. Can’t wait to meet the team for 2026!”
