Little Shop of Horrors (Des Moines Playhouse)

Little Shop of Horrors was directed by Ron Zigler at Des Moines Playhouse in July 2023. A big win outside of the overall production quality, we were able to animate the clock with a motor wired to an Arduino (programed and created by Paul Cartwright), that I was then able to control from the Lighting Board and program into the lighting cues! This was a big challenge for both of us to test our knowledge of lighting and computer science.
