Hi! Im Benny Hernandez. I am a theater student from California specializing in lighting design. I also have an interest in stage automation, show networking, and mechatronics¹. I have worked on lighting design for various productions including shows with Sierra College, Miss Sacramento County, Rocklin Community Theater, and more. I am actively doing stagehand work with IATSE Local 50 and I am employed as a theater technician at Sierra College and Roseville High School.

As of May 2025 I will receive an AA from Sierra College in theater and mechatronics. I have plans to transfer to CSU Long Beach in Fall 2025 to continue my studies in theater.

Beyond the stage, I enjoy working on electronics and coding projects as well as creating using CAD programs. I am very passionate about merging theater with technology and a lot of my side projects include exploring these possibilities.
