Hemsley Lighting Programs




	"One of the first assignments I give to my students after their first six weeks at Madison is to have them go out and watch God's light cues and have them record a sunset. They do it not in color, but look at it rather in terms of layers. I make them go around the parking lots and stores and industrial complexes to look at how lighting is designed." Gilbert Hemsley

The United States Institute For Theater Technology (USITT) has partnered over past years with The Hemsley Lighting Programs to sponsor a seminar at the annual USITT conference.

These seminars are designed to provide young lighting students with a professional’s perspective on subjects that directly impact a graduating student’s employment future. They have been very well attended and have been enthusiastically received by both students and educators.

Past subjects have included:

Being an Assistant Designer in New York City
Being a Touring Assistant
Assisting Careers in Dance, TV/Film, Industrials
Working as an Assistant in LORT Theaters
Regional Design Careers outside of New York City
