I’m Julie Seitel.

I’m a lighting designer, scenic designer, production manager, and stage manager based in Bozeman, Montana.

After 25 years designing, teaching, and production managing in New York City and the Berkshires and touring internationally, I returned to my hometown Bozeman in 2017 and am now deeply embedded in the local community theater scene.

I create designs for many Bozeman performing arts companies including Verge Theater, Intermountain Opera Bozeman, Montana Shakespeare in the Parks, Bozeman Actors Theatre, Nervous Theatre, and Kaleidoscope Youth Theater.

I’ve been a faculty member of the Williams College and Stony Brook University theatre departments, teaching undergraduate technical theater, lighting design and stage management. I have extensive safety training, with OSHA certifications in Electrical Safety and General Entertainment Industry Safety, as well as industry certifications in aerial work platform operation, ventilation for COVID-19, and Mental Health First Aid. I’ve been a member of IATSE (International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees) Local USA 829 United Scenic Artists since 1998.
