During July 2023, we talked to our 2023 Summer Interns, Christopher Lee and Kyle Donahue, to learn more about their experience working at City Theatrical during Summer 2023.
The following document explores one of their hands on projects at City Theatrical, which was a QolorFLEX NuNeon installation in the manufacturing office, overseen by City Theatrical Production Manager, Joe Fails.

QolorFLEX NuNeon installed in the ceiling of the City Theatrical manufacturing office
"I never imagined what a joy it would be to work with this year’s interns. Every day they face the challenge of doing things they have never done before with a smile on their faces, constantly asking what’s next, project after project. For this two-day project, they managed to design, account for the parts and materials, install and wire a QolorFLEX NuNeon set up out of recycled LED tape for our manufacturing office. These two both have a bright future ahead of them. Any organization would be lucky to have them."

LED Linear Lighting Installation Project
Project Goals:
To recycle used LED linear lighting, incorporate light into our manufacturing workspace, complete the project in less than a week to avoid interfering with manufacturing workflows.
Intern Responsibilities:
Take full autonomy over a project, from: managing an initial idea to a design and plan, cost and materials budgeting, meeting the challenges of an installation in a unique environment.
Results:
Christopher and Kyle were able to recycle an unsellable product into a beautiful and functional addition to City Theatrical’s NJ manufacturing office lighting. In doing so, they gained the experience of performing a difficult LED tape installation, like making 90-degree cuts, wiring LED tape to a low voltage dimmer, taking measurements, and keeping it all clean and professional looking.
