Profile bio

About Patrick Strain

I have been a freelance theatre designer since 1992, primarily scenic and lighting. I've not pursued full-time employment because of being in Europe from 1998-2001, and being a stay-at-home-Dad until 2022. I continue to take freelance jobs as I can, and work with local theatre groups. In addition to being a designer, I am a playwright, pursuing the difficult task of getting my writing produced.Specialties: Proficient on VectorWorks (including 3D rendering).

Listed skills include Theatre, Set Design, Stage, Lighting Design, and 9 others.
