Doemelt has a lot of experience having served as a lighting programmer for Princess Cruise Lines, a staff master electrician at The San Diego Repertory Theatre, a shipboard lighting technician and programmer for Carnival Cruise Lines, and a lighting designer for several San Diego theatres, including Asian American Repertory Theatre, New Village Arts, the Fritz Theatre, Euro Trash Productions, and McCaleb Dance.
NED principal consultant Jim Tetlow commented: "This year we are on track to design about 60 shows and exhibits, as well as all of our entertainment facility projects - which include five new cruise ships. Kurt has a broad range of experience and a strong mix of technical skills that will allow him to function well in both divisions. We are very lucky to have found someone with this diverse background who can hit the ground running."
