Marc Janowitz has been in the entertainment industry for over 25 years, with a robust catalog of artists, bands, comedians and more with whom he has worked throughout those years. His path to becoming a lighting and production designer was, well - a direct path. When he was eleven years old, his keen technical and artistic ability led him to be enlisted to lead the production and lighting of his school play. The die was cast and the story’s end has not yet been told.
