Joshua Hogan
Lighting Designer
So Josh is back at the lighting thing again. Josh first lighting designed Light in the Piazza and Crisis of Abundance. This time they decided to take Josh's board away and give him dimmer switches. Josh is now starting to design Lauren Diesch's production of THE BEST WE COULD (a family tragedy). Outside of lighting Josh is heavily involved in acting and stage combat, but this is about lighting.
