David McKain

As a Japanese American raised in Utah, I bring a unique cultural perspective to my work in theatre. Currently pursuing a BFA in Theatre Design and Production with an emphasis in Lighting at Utah Valley University, I balance my roles as both a dedicated student and a technician. My experience includes designing lighting for mainstage productions as well as more intimate club-run shows, where I strive to blend technical precision with artistic storytelling.
