Lawrence Ware is a Freelance Lighting Designer, Associate, and Draftsman.  His approach to lighting design is through exploration of the human psyche using perpetual change in order to enhance the envelopment of people into the fantasy created when we tell a story on stage, excite people at an event, or sculpt the world around us. Lighting design is a powerful tool because it can totally transform scenes and environments, reach into the psychology of characters and audience members through texture and isolations, and allow people to see moments from different perspectives that are cultivated by design teams and directors.

He is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at The University of South Carolina in Theatre with an emphasis in Lighting Design. He holds a degree from The University of Arizona in Theatre Production; Design and Technology with an emphasis in Lighting Design. 

Recently, Lawrence was credited as the Lighting Designer for The University of South Carolina’s production of "Tiny Beautiful Things”, Guest Artist for Randolph College for “Spitfire Grill” and an Assistant Lighting Designer for Greater Boston Stage Company’s production of "Million Dollar Quartet" in Boston, MA.
