Sam Powers (He/Him) is a freelance stage manager and lighting designer from Bethesda, MD. His more challenging and exciting productions have been within the realms of movement and dance. He loves working with directors to understand the story and world behind the movement, so that his lighting may elevate rather than detract from the overall story. Along those lines, collaboration and communication are his two favorite words, whether behind the lighting board or on the headset calling the cues. 

Sam is a Muhlenberg College graduate, with a degree in Theatre and Business Administration, focusing on stage management and technical theatre and design. When not in the theatre, Sam enjoys photography, skiing, and travel.
