Profile My name is Klayton Dennis. I have been in the theatrical/entertainment audio and visual technology field for over five years. Working behind the scenes to provide the highest quality in lighting and audio tech for theatrical performances, musicals, choir events, special events, live bands, and concerts from choirs to headliner shows. My experience has been gained from training from other A/V Technicians, theatre directors, Entertainment Managers, and personal studies. Experiences range from stage management, theatre safety, theatre production, contract management, staff management, venue management, lighting maintenance, lighting programming and focusing, audio setup, audio mixing, projection, and other aspects of the theatre and performance venue. My ability to multitask allows me to complete tasks on-time and as requested. I take great pride in my work and have a high passion to learn new techniques and skills to be able to provide the highest outcome. With my theatre technology experience, management experience, and safety background, I hope that I may someday be apart of your production.
