Michael Brunet – Lighting Designer

Michael Brunet is a multi-talented theatre artist. He has been nominated five times for awards for his lighting designs and three times as an actor, winning twice for design and once for acting. Michael grew up in the dark woods of Western Québec, kilometres from the nearest source of artificial
light. As a result he has excellent night vision and can navigate the darkest paths in near total darkness.
He used to gaze at the glow coming over the mountain and wonder about its mysterious source, imagining stories about the inhabitants of this world of light. Now, Michael is one of those inhabitants, using light to help bring tales out of the dark, leading others down the varied paths of the story. This is Michael’s second collaboration with Eldritch Theatre, having created the lighting effects for Space Opera
Zero. Enjoy the show.

Lindsay Anne Black – Designer

Lindsay Anne had a fifteen-year career as an award-winning theatre craftsperson and production designer, an arts educator, and (somehow) a mentor. However, it all tried to kill her, so now she has to stay in her home indefinitely. Lindsay Anne is currently the Nebulous Associate at New Harlem Productions, a social media manager and consultant, a low-key graphic artist, and she creates words, images, and sounds for the digital realm. Recent works include: composer for “You Made It” (DM St. Bernard – Femmepocalypse); digital designs for Sound of the Beast (FIBA – Argentina), Underneath It All (NHP), and the Community Justice Forum (NHP). Her play GRASS is in super-early development with PTE, so maybe watch for that in the futuretimes. Her first production with Eldritch was building props for puppets on The Babysitter. She is hugely grateful to the marvellous Eric, and all involved, for doing everything possible to revamp the creative process on this production so that she could rejoin them and contribute from a safe distance. 

Lindsay would like to thank Jaime Gawrylash, Michelle Ramsay and Carole Black & Paul Brisley.
