S Gary Sutherland

Lighting Designer | Programmer | Operator

I have over 37 years of creative experience, including; lighting, sound and set design. I'm still a performer at heart and my earlier experiences in the theatre continue to serve me well. I always view each design element from the perspective of a performer. I strive for the “magic” in everything I do. Nothing is more personally rewarding to me than when the "awe" that I create behind the scenes is absorbed by the audience as part of the whole and the complete theatrical experience.

I work in the belief that the technical arts can set the mood, portray an emotion or even direct the audience along a particular path. I strive to bring the audience into the proper frame of mind to become a part of the production, show, or service. Sometimes, it should just take your breath away and all you can say is “wow.” But more often, it shouldn’t call attention to itself, but rather create the proper atmosphere for what is being portrayed.
