About me

My name is Erik Morris. While I reside in Central Florida, my stints as a freelance designer, technical director/manager/producer and actor have made me very found of travel and working abroad (nationally or internationally). Attached files include credits as a Designer, Director and Actor. Non-theatrical credits are also available upon request.

I have well rounded experience and flexibility within the performing arts business which may prove to be a valuable asset for your project/theatre.

While my primary experience is geared towards Lighting Design and Creative Direction, I have experience as a Sound Designer, Scenic Designer, Stage Manager and Actor as well.

I have designed, directed and operated for theme parks, schools, universities, non-profit, live, streaming and broadcast environments with original or established productions and intellectual properties and am comfortable with and enjoy the opportunities each combination presents.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me and I will be happy to address them.

Thank you for your time,

~Erik Morris
