Enriching the World of Live Theare

Fia first began work as an overhire through IATSE Local 574 in 2021, working up to union member status in early 2024. Design work began in 2022 at Guilford Technical Community College, where Fia designed sound, lights, and costumes for several theatrical productions, and received a community service award for volunteer work with the program. Not long after, Fia began technical design for community theatres in and around North Carolina.

Most recently, Fia has engineered several shows at Lee St Theatre, as well as for the band SunQueen and the Soular Flares. Recent design credits include Piedmont Players’ Wrinkle in Time (sound), Eli Motley’s Café 808 (lighting), and Creative Greensboro’s Twelfth Night (lighting). Other recent credits include Local Head Audio (The Sound of Music and The Outsiders at The Tanger Center), Local A2 (Kimberly Akimbo and The Wiz at Tanger), A1 (Murder on the Orient Express with Piedmont Players), and Local Dresser #4 (A Beautiful Noise at Tanger).

Fia can currently be found in Missouri, mixing The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee with STAGES St Louis! Beyond that…where the industry leads next, be it near or far from home? Stick around to find out!

Fun Fact: When not jumping from show to show, Fia enjoys spending time snuggling with three pet rabbits and composing original music. Other interests include writing, fiber arts, and animal rescue.
