Upon his graduation from Jacksonville State University with a B.A. in Technical Theatre, Becker joined the Smoky Mountain Opry as lighting director. He then became the Head Electrician for national tours including Sesame Street Live and Assistant Electrician for “Elf: The Musical” National Tour.
“Throughout my lighting career, I have always had respect for Bandit and strived to one day work for the company,” said Becker. “I love how Bandit shows pride and exceptional quality in their product and leaves no detail behind. I am so excited to be joining the Bandit family.”
Prior to joining Bandit, Sullivan worked as a stagehand and fly rail operator in addition to being a Technical Director for the University of Tennessee’s opera. Now with Bandit, he shared the best part of his job is the comradery of the Bandit Family, a sentiment echoed by Allison Burchett, Bandit’s Director of Philanthropy and Production Manager.
“Alex is great on a console and always cool under pressure,” she said, “And Jamie comes to us with several years of experience as a local stagehand crew chief, making him a natural leader. It is great to have them both on the team.”
