Derek Keifer

A Western Massachusetts-based designer originally from Central Pennsylvania, I hold a Bachelor's in Music from Mansfield University and an MFA in Lighting Design and Technology from Ohio University. My design work has taken me through the East Coast, Midwest, and Southern US. I have served as assistant and associate lighting designer for several designers regionally at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, Indiana Repertory Theater, Toledo Opera, and Tantrum Theater, as well as with Epic Players Company in Manhattan. I've most recently served as Lighting Supervisor and Production Manager for Jacob's Pillow Dance in Becket, Massachusetts.
