About Herrick Goldman and HG Lighting Design Inc.
Welcome to Herrick Goldman Lighting Design Inc, NYC:
Thank you for visiting our website.
Herrick Goldman has been designing lighting professionally since 1991. His work has been seen all over the world including Shanghai, London, Frankfurt, Manila, Brisbane, and other exotic locales like Boston, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Houston, El Paso, Maui, Iowa, and Benton Illinois. Most recently (Summer 20009) his work was seen in Tick Tick Boom at the Westport Country Playhouse & The Rock Tenor at the Wilma Theatre. Broadway benefits include the 15th anniversary reunion of The Who's TOMMY & Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, both at the August Wilson. Herrick is a member of USA/IATSE 829.
The designs of HGLD have been seen in Broadway's August Wilson Theater, Carnegie Hall, and various venues at Lincoln Center. His Off and Off-Off-Broadway work is well known and has been recognized in a variety of publications (be sure to visit our forthcoming press page).
In the early 90's Herrick was the Lighting Design Instructor for the MIT Theater Arts Department. From there he segued into television lighting design as an associate for the firm New York City Lites, working with designers Bruce Ferri and Chuck Noble. In 1997 Herrick continued his freelance design career hoping to find a solid mix of theatrical design and corporate entertainment projects that he could lend his artistic vision to. Having found success in this venture he founded the firm HG Lighting Design in 2006. HGLD is a design firm with a number of qualified design staff as well as production electricians and programmers available for any type of production or installation.
Herrick and HGLD's designs reflect thoughtful collaboration with directors and other designers, and are inspired by a variety of images ranging from fine art to film and literature. Past design concepts have been based on the works of Hopper, Parrish, Caravaggio, and Kandinsky. Others have been drawn from such diverse works as those of Mapplethorpe and the film "Blade Runner." Most concepts come from listening to our collaborators and translating their vision to the stage.
On this site you will find samples of our work on many shows, concerts, dance pieces, and corporate events. Herrick and his team have designed for theater, opera, modern dance, aerial acrobatic dance, award shows, night clubs, casinos and museums.
