Master Electrician
the lighting design for a production drawn up by the lighting designer. This involves overseeing the
preparation, hanging, connection and focusing of stage lighting fixtures.[1]
This can be done on a show-by-show basis, or as a resident position of a specific theatre. The tool
of the trade of the theatrical master electrician is the adjustable spanner or crescent wrench, used to
secure stage lighting instruments from lighting positions in the theatre. This wrench is typically
attached to the belt or wrist with a lanyard, which is important because the master electrician tends
to work at great height, from ladders, lift tables, catwalks, or lighting trusses, where a falling wrench
may hurt people or damage property below.
