My name is Elizabeth M. KleinknechtI have a Bachelor of Arts in Technical Theatre Lighting Design from Point Park University in Pittsburgh, Pa. I have over 5 years of Professional theatrical experience in Union, Professional and Educational venues.
I have worked in Miami for the past year for Local 500, Miramar Cultural Center and Everlast Productions as a Lighting Designer, Project Manager, Show Caller, and Master Electrician.
I have worked as a independent Lighting Design Contractor for 2 community theatres in the Sarasota Area, as well as professional union electrician work for 3 professional theatres.
I was an assistant master electrician for the Sarasota Opera House, in Sarasota, Fl. in which I implemented lighting plots and maintained equipment throughout their opera season as well as supervised professional crews for their rep season.
I was technical director of a charter school in Palmetto Florida, Manatee School for the Arts for 2 years, where I designed, implemented and maintained all equipment for the school's 2 theatrical spaces both in Lighting and Sound. I taught middle and high school stagecraft classes and trained all crews for the 12 productions.
During my first year, I helped design and review a removed venue upgrade in both electrical and sound renovation for the school and trained other teachers on the new equipment. I also tutored senior tech students for college interviews and three of my former students received full scholarships to Florida School for the Arts and University of Central Florida for Stage Management and Design.
I was Lighting and Sound designer and Production Stage Manager as well. I wrote a teaching handbook for the school when I departed that has been implemented into the school's curriculum.
