Welcome to Ruby-Lighting.com, the home page of Ruby Rubenstahl, professional lighting designer and technician. I am currently working as the Master Electrician of Barter Theatre in Abingdon, Virginia.

Prior to working here at Barter, I was a Lighting Technician for Tuacahn Amphitheatre in Ivins, Utah, Kentucky Repertory Theatre in Horse Cave, Kentucky, and Royal Caribbean International (Royal Caribbean Productions) aboard the Brilliance of the Seas, Splendour of the Seas, and Empress of the Seas.

As a student the at Kent State University School of Theatre and Dance, was involved in many shows, including Honk!(Lighting Designer), The Laramie Project(Master Electrician), The Wild Party(Moving Light Programmer), Children of Eden(followspot coordinator, AME), Medea(asst.

During the summers of 2004 and 2005, I had the opportunity to work at PCPA Theatrefest in Santa Maria and Solvang, California. In my time there I worked on 10 shows of the highest quality, including the world premier of The Wildest!!!(AME, Light Board operator), Inventing Van Gogh(Staff ME), and Picasso at the Lapin Agile(AME, Light Board operator)

I have experience in most aspects of theatrical lighting, having held positions in both academic and professional theatre as a Lighting Designer, Assistant Lighting Designer, Moving Light Programmer, Electrician, Assistant Master Electrician, Master Electrician, Lighting Coordinator, and Followspot Coordinator. I have also studied other aspects of the technical theatre processes including Carpentry, Scenic Design, Costume Design, Sound Design, and Stage Management which has given me the ability to understand the needs of others in this collaborative art form, and to effectively complete job at hand.
