Grease: High School Edition
In the summer of 2026 Griffin returned to the Seacoast Rep not as an electrician or spotlight operator, but designing his first show in the space. The Rep has educational programs that perform on the stage in tandem with the adult performances, and he got to design the younger version of Grease. The plot was designed by Christian Arnold, but was inherited and used for the design of the junior production. Unfortunately there were no professional photos taken, but they are available in Griffin's portfolio upon contact.

Love and Other Life Sentences was a brand-new Off-Broadway rom-com which Griffin was the Production Electrician and Associate Lighting Designer for. He worked in the days before the performance on hanging, cabling, and focusing all of the fixtures with small groups of actors under his leadership, and working with the designer on refining cues and adding looks of his own to the bold and colorful show.
Boston University '25-'26
Griffin's first year at Boston University featured a variety of work across several productions at the institution. In his first semester he volunteered on Boston University Lighting Department (BULX) calls when he wasn't the lead usher on shows. In the Spring he requested a more involved position in BULX and the faculty heard his excitement and placed him as an assisstant production electrician (APE) on the Scenography 3rd floor lab productions. These shows are small blackbox productions that focus on imagination and the craft of theater with limited materials. He worked in multiple spaces on separate shows in the two spaces with the production electrician, Zola Gutierrez, to run calls prepping, hanging, cabling, and focusing light fixtures and practicals under the guidence of Alyssa Gonzalez (LD) and Bianca Akoa (ALD). In addition he participated in the costume department as a wardrobe crew member for the Studio One (much larger black box) production of Medea.

During performances of Sweet Charity, Griffin was the Spotlight caller. He worked closely with the lighting designer as his assistant, and communicated with stage management for cues for the spots. The majority of his time during build was spent on the LIFE sign (depicted below) between classes and helping with other lighting department work.
