Hi. I\u2019m Alex and I invented the Better Go Button<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did I need a better way to go?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It all started when I was operating a lighting console for a show on Broadway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picture it: there I was in the booth, facing the stage, but the console was set up over to the side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve ever been in that situation, you know\u2026 my neck took a beating during that run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the pain got me thinking. Is there a way to hit every cue and still be free to move around the booth comfortably?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turns out there is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of research and 10 prototypes later, I created the solution that I now use every time I\u2019m taking light cues in the theater. Including the night I programmed at Radio City for the biggest presidential campaign fundraiser in history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never thought I\u2019d have the Secret Service rummaging through my lighting equipment…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in a day\u2019s work, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, yeah, the Better Go Button. It\u2019s pretty cool. You should try it<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Alex Fogel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"This<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As a New York based lighting designer and moving light programmer with more than 15 years of experience, I\u2019ve served on many Broadway productions both in New York and on national and international tours, including MJ the Musical, Almost Famous, Mr. Saturday Night, Springsteen on Broadway, West Side Story, Ain\u2019t Too Proud, Pretty Woman, Hello Dolly, Cats, and many, many more<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renowned lighting designers I have the honor to collaborate with frequently include Kevin Adams, Ken Billington, Howell Binkley, Jeff Croiter, Donald Holder, and Natasha Katz, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to theater, I\u2019ve also worked on concerts, television shows, live events and architectural installations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I\u2019m not working on a production, I enjoy passing on my knowledge through teaching programming classes for ETC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in my rare moments of spare time (the ones not devoted to my beautiful wife and our toddler son), I love to tinker and develop products that make my job (and maybe yours) more streamlined and fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
