She has also been the head electrician for corporate events and even worked an All Elite Wrestling show at Bojangles Coliseum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThose gigs pay really good money,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Charlotte native, King started her artistic journey at University Park Creative Arts School, a magnet elementary school where she \u201cwas able to be part of every arts discipline,\u201d she said. In those days, she was often found on stage \u2013 performing as an orphan in <em>Annie<\/em> or playing her cello in the orchestra \u2013 but later she began working behind the scenes at Northwest School of the Arts, where she was a runner for the annual fashion show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King entered UNC Charlotte as a business major, but in the spring of her freshman year, she was hired as a costume lab intern and assisted in building costumes for the Department of Theatre\u2019s production of <em>Pippin<\/em>.

In addition to her contributions in the costume shop, King has served as the stage manager for several shows, designed the lighting for dance performances, and designed the sound for the play <em>Clybourne Park<\/em>, a project she presented this spring at the Southeastern Theatre Conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cooperative nature of theatre, in which many hands join to create a show, has provided a valuable education, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cThere\u2019s no one way. There\u2019s always another way. That has helped me become a better collaborator. And that problem-solving aspect has been really good. It\u2019s something I will always walk with.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cws.charlotte.edu\/backup-coaa\/people\/hali-hutchison-houk\">Hali Hutchison-Houk<\/a>, production manager for the College of Arts + Architecture, first hired King in the costume lab and has remained a close mentor. Beyond her impressive artistic achievements, King \u201cis a remarkable collaborator,\u201d Hutchison-Houk said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShe is a person who not only excels in her own craft but also elevates those around her. Her ability to see the larger scope of any project while attending to the smallest details makes her an invaluable team member.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While a student, King has also had a campus job with Production Arts and Operations as a lighting lab technician, working alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/cws.charlotte.edu\/backup-coaa\/people\/rick-moll\">Senior Lecturer and Production Electrician Rick Moll \u201994<\/a> to hang and focus lights for the College of Arts + Architecture\u2019s dozens of performances in Robinson Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moll, who is an officer for IATSE Local 322 and works regularly at the Knight Theater and Charlotte Ballet, has been the conduit for King and many other design\/tech students to work professionally across Charlotte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRick has made a huge difference in my career,\u201d King said. \u201cBeing able to work with him at Charlotte Ballet, I\u2019ve moved from a deck hand to a light board capacity and have even done sound. His exposure to a lot of different people in the industry has helped as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through Moll\u2019s connections, for example, King worked at the International Black Theatre Festival last summer, where she met theatre professionals from across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMadison did not come to Charlotte to study lighting or stage management, she came to study theatre,\u201d Moll said.&nbsp; \u201cShe has not limited herself.&nbsp; She has studied the breadth of the production arts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>After every production finished and after every course completed, Madison&#8217;s first question the next day is &#8220;What&#8217;s next?&#8221;<\/p><cite>Senior Lecturer and Production Electrician Rick Moll \u201994<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shortly after graduation, King will head to the North Carolina mountains, where she will be Assistant Head Electrician at the Brevard Music Center Summer Festival. As part of the electrical team, she will hang and program lights for their concerts and operas through the end of July. She then returns to Charlotte to design lights for her third production for Three Bone Theatre. Lighting design is at the top of her aspirations, King said, and she credits Lighting Design Lecturer Gordon Olson with connecting her to the local professional theatre company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI count it as a major blessing to be able to work with them,\u201d she said of Three Bone. \u201cEvery show has been an amazing experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From faculty like Moll, Olson and Hutchison-Houk \u2013 who has supported \u201cevery single crazy idea I\u2019ve had\u201d \u2013 to her theatre peers, with whom she has traveled to conferences and produced shows on campus and off, King praises the positive, energetic community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cI\u2019ve loved how supportive everybody is.
