Stacey O'Shea

Lighting Designer Theatre-maker

I'm Stacey (she/they), a lighting designer, lighting programmer, technician and theatre-maker, originally from Scotland and based in the Midlands.
Specialising in theatre, live arts, touring productions and music events, I have designed and worked on a variety of productions including new writing, plays, musical theatre, immersive theatre, family shows, dance and live music productions.
Inclusion, diversity and accessible storytelling are all core values within my practice. I have a passion for creative collaboration, innovation, experimentation and an impactful audience experience within my work.
As part of the LGBT+ community, I am keen to create and direct theatre which represents a broad range of diversity and intersectionality.
