Main Light was proud to support students at the University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) by providing lighting equipment and on-site support for BOOM, a large-scale, student-driven production showcasing collaboration across CCM’s Theatre Design and Production programs.

BOOM brings together lighting, automation, projection, sound, and live performance in a series of short, music-driven pieces designed and executed by student teams from CCM’s Lighting Technology class. The project was led by Kevin Lawson, CCM’s Assistant Professor of Lighting Design and Technology, whose professional background includes decades of work in live television, broadcasts, corporate events and theatre. Under his guidance, students from across Theatre Design and Production, Acting, and Dance collaborated on a fully integrated show blending movement, design, and technology.

To help support projects of this scale, Main Light provided a substantial lighting rental package for student use. Coordinated by Pat Bellino, National Senior Business Development at Main Light, our team worked directly with students and faculty, traveling to Cincinnati despite challenging winter weather, to answer questions, share real-world insight, and see the students’ work come to life.

We were also excited to see former Main Light intern Adam Markus serve as Production Electrician for BOOM. His experience working on large-scale productions during his internship translated seamlessly to managing the complex lighting system for the project.

Supporting emerging talent is central to Main Light’s mission, and being able to show up with both equipment and experience is what makes partnerships like this meaningful.
