Welcome.
The purpose of this page is to let you know a bit about me and to
review my portfolio.
Thanks for coming by.
I am a freelance lighting designer who has lived in Baltimore, MD since 1999 (longer than I have lived anywhere else, making it my new hometown).
Our home is a typical Baltimore rowhouse that was built in 1911, which is in constant need of repair and general maintenance.
I share the home with my wife, and son.
If you would like to get in touch with me, please send an email to:
Michael (at symbol) MichaelKlima.com
Enough about me, let's look at my work: Productions are followed by the name of the Director and the date of the show.
Clicking on a photo will take you to the page with more photos of my work on that show or with that producing company.
Clicking on a show title will take you to the page for that show

See how I subtly added in an ad, and used an RGB color palette. That's the type of clever humor that I use every day, and it only ever seems to amuse me. Seriously though, if you need web hosting services, these guys, Bluehost, can't be beat. Their service is great. The quality for the price is also great. Plus, they do give me a kickback if you sign up with them through these links. Then you too, gentle reader, can have a website, place their ad, and eventually get your own kickback. This is not a pyramid scheme, I have worked too many Amway conventions (7!) to get involved with that type of thing. Take Care, Michael
