About

Chanon DiCarlo (she/her) grew up in the Catskill Mountains of New York, famously known as The Borscht Belt or, as I like to say, the in-real-life Comedy Central. After graduating from SUNY Albany with a Bachelor of Science, she moved to Los Angeles and worked for the William Morris Agency & Dick Clark Productions before settling into a decades-long career at Upstaging Lighting & Transport, and eventually relocating to Chicago.

Upstaging provides lighting & transportation services for concert touring and corporate productions. Since 1999, she has had the honor of working alongside some of the largest stadium & arena productions, managing their transportation logistics for Upstaging. Having worked in the entertainment industry for almost 24 years, she has witnessed the power of performance art time and again. As a parent, she aspires to do meaningful work to ensure all children grow up experiencing the magic & healing power of the arts.
