Mirachelle Canada
@mirachellecanada
I lead safe, high-impact live theater, studio production, and technical operations.
What I'm looking for
I've led Easter and Christmas productions at Christ Chapel Church for 200+ cast and crew members, delivering live experiences for 1,300+ attendees per performance. I manage staging, lighting, audio, video, rehearsals, run-of-show planning, backstage communication, and on-site technical execution.
Previously, I led C.D. Hylton High School's state-certified television production program for 300+ students annually, producing live and recorded broadcasts while overseeing $400K in studio and lighting upgrades. I bring 20+ years of theater, media production, technical direction, writing, and calm, safety-first troubleshooting to every production.
