Gregory Norgeot grew up in Cape Cod, Orleans, Massachusetts. His love of theatre and the production environment started as a teenager while at prep school. Greg then enrolled at Ithaca College, Ithaca, New York, where he graduated with a BFA in design and technical production.

After graduating in 1976, Greg moved to New York City permanently and started working as a freelance production electrician. He soon became involved in some of the most prestigious theatrical touring and Broadway productions, in North America and abroad. As a production electrician, Greg worked on shows such as My Fair Lady, La Cage aux Follies, Grand Hotel, the national tours of Snow White, Annie and West Side Story in Paris, France.

In 1991, Greg started working almost exclusively in the corporate theatre and industrials market. This change away from Theatre was prompted by a couple of converging factors. Greg and his wife, whom he met on a touring production of My Fair Lady in the early 80s, had their second child while still living in a small apartment in NYC. The need for space prompted them to move out of New York back to Cape Cod. Greg had also begun looking for ways to realize his artistic talents. As a production electrician, Greg had reached a glass ceiling of sorts. By working with the likes of Jules Fisher, Tom Skelton and Roger Morgan on Broadway, Greg had stoked the light designer inside. Never having gone the Broadway assistant lighting designer route, joining the ranks of fledging lighting designers on Broadway did not seem like a possibility.

By 1997, Greg was fully entrenched in the corporate staging world. Taking advantage of his technical theatre background, he was working as a lighting designer as well as being a technical director of some merit. His credits included overseeing the construction of a temporary theatre and installation of the “Winter Wonderland” show in Atlanta, Georgia, as well as numerous more traditional corporate events. However, 1997 also saw Greg starting to breakout in the world of lighting design by designing shows for clients such as Ford, Anderson Consulting and Upjohn Pharmaceuticals.

Greg was a full time lighting designer working almost exclusively in the large scale corporate theatre world by 2000. Having met John Ingram while working as Electrician in 1993, Greg joined Ingram associates as a full time Lighting designer in 1999. Greg is a now a major lighting designer for an impressive array of household names including Avon, Accenture, BMS, Prudential Securities and Jeep to name a few.

His feet firmly placed in the real world, Greg still lives in Cape Cod with his family where they own and run a seasonal ice-cream shop in Orleans.
