Constance R Smith

I have served as the Director of Technical Theatre at the Center for Performing Arts at Chipola College since 2012. In addition to teaching technical production and appreciation courses, I am responsible for the scenic/lighting design, production management, & technical direction for all performances in the Center for the Arts.

I hold an MFA degree in Technical Production from Florida State University, a BFA in Theatrical Design & Technology from Auburn University, and an MS in Recreational Therapy (Expressive Arts Therapy focus) from the University of South Alabama.

I have worked in theatrical design and production for over 35 years in theatres in the southeast. In addition to Chipola College, I have designed and/or taught at University of South Alabama, Meredith College, University of Mobile, and Valdosta State University.

From 2002 to 2020, I served as the onsite manager of Job Fair for the Southeastern Theatre Conference (SETC) and currently serve on the Board of Directors for the Florida Theatre Conference (FTC) as Chair of Production Development.
