Lighting Programmer and Associate

Introduction

Everyone calls me Stacy which is a name I've grown used to, dare I even say like. But my real name is Stuart Cross and for simplicity my company name is S Cross Ltd. How I ended up with the name 'Stacy' is a long story but has something to do with the Simpsons, and far too much to drink, I won't say what it was I had to drink but if you follow the link you can probably work it out. Suffice to say I no longer really drink it!

Passion

I have a real passion for what I do and have been lucky enough to have been doing it for the last 30 years professionally. I have been working mainly as a lighting programmer in theatre, but on occasion I have found myself working on concerts or TV and film, sometimes programming for video and Special effects! Basically I'm always up for a new challenge, be it a new project or even a new lighting desk.
