Technology in the Arts #10

Podcast - Technology in the Arts #10 In our most recent podcast, Brad interviews CAMT's new support specialist, Josh Futrell.

Josh Futrell, who supports CAMT's partners and manages the Center's quality assurance infrastructure, has never known whether to call himself a nerdy artist or an artistic nerd. In high school, he divided his time between the computer lab and the stage. In college, he spent as much time designing Web sites as memorizing his lines. After earning his B.A. in Theatre Arts from the University of Pittsburgh in 2001, Josh worked in the corporate world as a marketing video editor, an administrative assistant and a customer service representative, all while performing with local theatre organizations. His unique background gives him a foothold in both the technical and the artistic.
