Collin Wagner
is a lighting designer based in Southeast Michigan, with a degree in design and technical production from Western Michigan University. Collin has worked with The Ghostlight Theatre for 3 years as the technical director as well as all over the state of Michigan.
As an artist, I believe that every experience provides a learning opportunity. I push myself to grow during every production. I believe collaboration and communication are the key to success.
In my design, I bring stories to life through the transformative power of light, color, and texture. With a deep passion for theatre and an eye for detail, I use lighting to elevate the performance and emotion.
