I have been fortunate to work with some great people and amazing organizations. I have worked in churches, small spaces, black box theatres, outdoor venues, and 500+ seat theatres. I have arrived to simply tech the show, and I have also been involved from before auditions through post-production review. I have served as Technical Director, FOH Engineer, A2, Sound Designer, Light Designer, Light Board Operator and much more. I am very organized, love learning new skills and love challenges…still working on coping better with last minute changes. I truly love the technical side of theatre! If picking, I choose sound and have extensive knowledge of many platforms including Allen & Heath Avantis, dLive, and SQ mixers, Yamaha CL/QL Series consoles, Midas/Behringer M/X Series boards, PreSonus StudioLive, Soundcraft Si Series and many more. I LOVE TheatreMix (Theatre Control when I started using it) software…check it out!

“Chris has been our lead sound engineer at Artios Academies for 6+ years and he is absolutely phenomenal to work with. I recommend him for any endeavor with the highest regards. Concerning technical experience; He has extensive knowledge, equipment, and experience in this field. Further, he has extensive experience working with different spaces and companies, ensuring that all equipment is properly taken care of throughout the performance week, and reset at the end of each show. Truly, he always goes above and beyond for every production, assisting with far more than his job title. He is a true assist to any production and is wonderful to work alongside.” – Jeanette Lane

"We got to work with Chris at Colorado Christian University this September (2021) and it was a wonderful experience!  He is professional, calm, kind, and easy to work with.  He brought in so much knowledge and experience and made our very complicated show (in the round) sound amazing!  We look forward to working with Chris again and highly recommend him to you!" - Sarah McLean

”Chris Lester has been invaluable to our theater organization. He has been the Technical Director for many of our productions and always goes above and beyond to make sure everything is flawless! He has exceptional skill and a wealth of knowledge. Chris has tackled many difficult requests regarding both lighting and sound and he always produces a perfect result. He is by far the most dedicated and gifted tech that we have ever had and is consistently our first choice when selecting teams for our shows. I highly recommend hiring Chris for any needs you may have in lighting and sound.” - Rachel Meredith

"I am not going to say that Chris is all knowing when it comes to technical theater...However in the 4 years we have used his services, we have yet to create a theater tech situation that he didn't have a realistic, safe and budget minded solution to offer." - Reid Hanson
