Brad Wilson

Brad has worked on Austin’s smallest and largest stages, having been involved in the city’s theater scene in one capacity or another since the early 1990s. From acting in and writing plays to design lights to building opera scenery, he’s tried almost every aspect of live theater. Except for directing and wardrobe, both of which scare him a little. He first worked as a stagehand for Ballet Austin in 2005 and joined the production staff in 2015. Longtime fans of Ballet Austin might recognize him as the magical bed at the end of The Nutcracker, a role he’s pretty sure he played longer than any other stagehand in the history of the old set. During his career, he also earned a Bachelor’s degree in Labor History from the National Labor College and a Master’s in Creative Writing from St. Edwards University. But neither of those paths could keep him away from the stage for very long. As the Associate Production manager, he spends most of his time adding to and managing the company’s performance video archives, maintaining the rehearsal studios, and building the occasional piece of scenery.
