5Qs Stephen Moss Lighting Designer

USITT 2016 Rising Star Award Winner | Live Design: It wasn’t until his sophomore year of college that Stephen Moss discovered the light: his knack for lighting design that is. Born and raised in Music City—Nashville, Tennessee—Moss grew up playing the French horn and enrolled in music education at Lipscomb University. While he had done sound design for a few plays in high school and continued this trend as an undergrad, he had never dabbled in lighting until Lipscomb was fresh out of lighting techs and decided to throw him into the spotlight.
