Technical Theater

Eddy Piedra

I am a dad who started volunteering to work on shows 4 years ago. I learned Tech Theater in high school, and thought it would be fun to contribute to set building on a show. Since 2022, I have worked on 9 shows with Center Stage Theater Arts developing my own technical skills to the point that I am ready to give back some of that knowledge I’ve acquired from challenging myself to improve with each subsequent show. I have been a technical artist working on video games and animation for the past 20 years. I have a BS in Computer Science and a BA in Art – so, yes, I am both formally trained in art and I can code. I bring some of that technical skill into this as well by using my skills in 3d modeling to be able to 3d print props and some set dressing elements.
