Hi everyone! My name is Luis Garcia and I am a Peruvian-American lighting and media designer based in College Park, MD, working across theatre, dance, installations, and live performance art.
I currently hold a BA in Theatre Arts from Stetson University (2016) and an MFA from the University of Maryland, College Park (2024).
Being recognized in 2018 as one of Live Designs “30 Under 30”, I aim to use my platform to inspire younger BIPOC artists by advocating for authenticity and diversity in the arts.
I currently serve as a Co-IDEAS Coordinator for the USITT Lighting Design and Technology Commission and a member of the SETC Design Committee. I also am an alumnus of the 2017 OSF F.A.I.R. Program and the 2016 USITT Gateway Cohort.
Some of my past productions include:
Lighting Designer, The Revolutionist (Stetson University), Laughs in Spanish, The Waverly Gallery (1st Stage), A Christmas Carol (Chesapeake Shakespeare Company).
Video Designer, Professor Woland Black Magic Rock Show (Spooky Action), Beautiful: Carole King Musical, Funny Girl (MSMT), Out of the Vineyard (Joe’s Movement Emporium), Espejos:Clean (Studio Theatre), Anastasia, It Happened in Key West (Fulton Theatre).
