Michael Skinner

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from West Texas A&M University and a Master of Fine Arts degree from The University of Oklahoma where I specialized in both scenic and lighting design. I am currently the Resident Lighitng Designer for the Texas Christian University Theatre Department in Fort Worth Texas, and was an Artistic Associate of The Trinity Shakespeare Festival, I not only design, but I teach future generations of lighting designers and stage managers. Over the years I have had the pleasure of designing in Germany, Italy, and Russia. At home in the Dallas/Fort Worth area I have been honored to receive seven DFW Critics Forum Awards for creative contribution as part of the Trinity Shakespeare Festival team of professional designers, and one for Amphibian Productions Artist Descending a Staircase. I also have been honored twice by the Tarrant county Live Theatre League. In 2005 my Alma Mater, WTAMU, inducted me into the Branding Iron Theatre Hall of Fame for my career in theatre. I have done over 200 shows in my career and can bring a world of experience to your next production.
