Benjamin Arnett

Master Electrician

Benjamin is a lighting designer, programmer, and head electrician based out of Portage, MI. With a deep passion and love for music, Benjamin’s works in lighting are driven by the emotions and feelings created by talented artists on stage. He has designed for productions such as The Lightning Thief (WMU 2022) and The SpongeBob Musical (WMU 2024). His skills as a theatrical technician have led to lightboard programming and head electrician opportunities at Great Lakes Center for the Arts in Petoskey, Weston Theatre Company in Vermont, The Argyle Theatre in New York, and many others. In Benjamin’s free time, he enjoys going to concerts, working on projects in the garage, usually involving wood or metal work, and finding some twisty scenic roads on his motorcycle.
