Lighting Designer
Hi! I'm Finn Apple, and I am a high school senior from Katy, Texas. I'm an active member of Studio VII, my high school theatre troupe, where you will most likely find me in the back of house in the booth. My love for lighting design started in junior high, where my school's production of Moana Jr changed not only how I saw theatre, but lighting in particular. Ever since then I've been obsessed with lighting. Some of my favorite projects include Arsenic and Old Lace and Mary Poppins. The world around us has so much to gain from lighting, so let me brighten your day. Click through to enjoy some cool pictures of my work!
