It’s the 50th episode of Casting Light, and we’re doing something different this time. With our business in flux and many people looking for some guidance, we’ve put together an incredible panel to answer the question, “OK, now what?” Reinvention, keeping abreast of industry changes, knowing how to nurture relationships, continuing education, and financial planning all play a part regardless of the state of the business, and our guests discuss all these topics and more on this episode.We’ve got Laura Frank, a top-flight lighting programmer who became a screens producer when she saw how digital lighting was going to affect the industry, ultimately building her own framework and systems to manage all aspects of media; Brad Schiller, who was one of the people who defined what the job of programmer was before moving on to develop consoles, manage products, and represent the biggest names in lighting manufacturing; David Leonard, who had a full career as a theater educator before moving on to assist the great design team of Jules Fisher and Peggy Eisenhauer, and then becoming a high-end real estate agent; and Marty Postma, who worked as a lighting designer and lighting director for music venues and on national and international concert tours for decades before becoming a sales manager for Robe Lighting.Be sure to check out Brad’s newly released book, “Living the Lighting Life: A Guide to a Career in Entertainment Lighting” in which he delves even deeper into many of the topics we discuss on the show.

Multitalented and multi-genre, Hillary Knox has found himself involved in fascinating projects throughout his career. Growing up in Nashville, he thought he would be a musician – but he soon discovered that the lighting department was where he fit. He cut his teeth working at Opryland before attending Carnegie Mellon University. During his last semester, he interned with the great design team of Jules Fisher and Peggy Eisenhauer, and he’s been on the move ever since.Hillary was an early adopter and user of the Wholehog II, and that formed the base he built his career on. After a stint at The Obie Company, he made his Broadway debut programming lighting for LD Nigel Levings on Baz Lurhman’s 2002 revival of La Boheme. He was then tapped to program media and projections on Wicked for projection designer Elaine J. McCarthy, an ambitious project in every way.Today, you’ll find him programming lighting on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, part of a team that includes lighting designer/lighting director Michael Scricca and programmer Constantine Leonardos. Hillary told us how the show worked and what typical daily operations before mid-March, as well as how studio operations have had to adjust to our current situation, from COVID-19 testing twice week to fully socially distanced positions in the studio.Thanks for listening!

This episode Michael is joined by Jawa super fan Peggy Eisenhauer to talk about The Offworld Jawas inclusion in episode 2 of The Mandalorian “The Child.”

It was 1977, and Mike was headed to a Kiss concert at Madison Square Garden. The audience blinders came up, 20,000 people cheered, and Mike knew he'd found a home. Since then, he has lit Broadway musicals, including collaborating on Cabaret with the great Peggy Eisenhauer; television shows, including episodes of Saturday Night Live; theatrical tours, including Camelot; major events live to broadcast, including A (RED) THANK YOU; concerts, including tours with icon Neil Young; and feature films, including Nine. All that said, Mike's greatest strength may be his ability to draw inspiration and practice from one genre for use in another.
