ABOUT RLS LIGHTINGS

My name is Reed Simiele, I am a lighting designer, creator, and artist that finds joy in sculpting images on the stage. I love to use color, texture and composition in order to create unity between all the elements of a production and love to collaborate with other artists! I am currently in the DMV area and love to explore new spaces! A couple upcoming projects I have coming up are “Sideways” at Cumberland Theatre and being an assistant designer for “Everybody’s talking about Jamie” with Iron Crow Theatre
