Plsn 4/1/09 6:57 Pm
Brian Sidney Bembridge - PLSN 4/1/09 6:57 PM Today is: April 01,2009 Current Issue online: March March Issue Brian Sidney Bembridge Written by Rob Ludwig At the age of 23, Brian Sidney Bembridge moved to Chicago, the home of more than 200 small theatre companies, to try to make a name for himself as a lighting and scenic designer. After working on various small projects, he finally got his break in the local theatre community after he was invited to work on a film featuring a little green frog and his friends. He took time out of his busy schedule to talk to us about how his naivety helped him make the most important decision in his life and what he’s learned since relocating to the Windy City. PLSN: Obviously, you’re heavily involved in the Chicago theatre community, but let’s back up to the beginning of your career: How did you get involved in the theatrical lighting industry? Bembridge: As a kid, I did community theatre. I was on stage but also hung the plot, circuited, ran spots and ran the Visit PLSNbookshelf.com board. So I was always sort of involved with it, in some capacity. Then I toured around the world for a year (as a performer), and when I came back I wasn’t sure what I was going to do. I was working in a PLSN University restaurant and I remembered this brochure I had seen from the North Carolina School of the Arts that I thought looked cool, so I sent my application in.
