Marsha Stern, a lighting designer, programmer, technician and production manager who’s career began in the music business and spans the NYC Nightclub and Special Events circuit from the late 70’s through the mid 90’s when she began to pioneer using entertainment technologies in architectural lighting design, now known as Architainment.
Marsha incorporated as Marsha Stern Lighting Design & Consulting, Inc. in April 1999, actively working as an independent designer, programmer and consultant until 2017 when she joined Acclaim Lighting, the architectural division of ADJ Group.
2020 and the Covid-19 Pandemic brought everything to a grinding halt, including her tenure with ADJ Group. During the past 2 years Marsha has delved into a couple of her passion projects which resulted in creating a legacy website dedicated to Roy Thode an iconic DJ from the glory days of disco and a podcast, The Heartbeat Of The Dance Floor®. “I’m embracing what seems to be my third career as a Nightlife Historian, which combines my life experiences from both the musical and lighting/production world.” These new projects are under the umbrella of Backlit Productions, LLC which Marsha formed in Florida in 2011 for her music-oriented ventures.
