Kevin Adams is on the leading edge of the post-incandescent age on Broadway. His work for “Spring Awakening” -- brilliant white light for the 19th-century play's scenes and saturated color from what he calls "electric objects" for the songs -- won him a Tony in 2007. He picked up a second Tony in 2008 for “The 39 Steps” and a third in 2010 for his lighting of the Green Day musical “American Idiot”. Adams holds a B.F.A. in Theatrical Design from The University of Texas at Austin. (Fast Company Magazine)
