  Adam Mendelson is an Assistant Professor of Lighting and Sound at UW. He has held the same position at the University of Texas at Arlington and at Stephens College in Columbia, MO. Previously, he designed and developed the technical theatre curriculum at Lawrence Academy, Groton, MA. As a lighting and sound designer, he has designed for theatres across the country including Okoboji (IA) Summer Theater, Nebraska Repertory Theater, Fitchburg (MA) State College, and Wyoming’s own Snowy Range Summer Theatre. With a deep interest in dance and performance art, he has lit and produced over 150 shows on the academic and professional stages, as well as a few hotel conference rooms and church basements! His lighting design for MacBeth at the University of Nebraska- Lincoln won a KC/ACTF Barbizon Award for Excellence in 2003. Two of his most challenging productions were the touring original dance pieces that he took to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland in 2003 and 2006. The 2006 work entitled Upon Close Inspection was hailed for its “visually stunning images.” Adam’s partner Catherine, also a Snowy Range Summer Theatre alumni, is a stage manager who is returning to graduate school at the University of Delaware. They are moving to Laramie with their Lab mix, Jasmine, and a silver cat named Cordelia. He is thrilled to be a part of the Wyoming community and thanks Catherine, Jasmine, and Delia for all their support.
