Kris Nutting, a 20+ year employee at BMI Supply, passed away on January 31st after a brief illness. Kris served as the Lighting Project Manager in the Installations Department, completing innumerable projects for colleges, universities, high schools, theatres, and other event venues across New York State and the Northeast USA.
Kris was an experienced technician for a wide variety of manufacturers’ gear, most notably Electronic Theatre Controls (ETC), for whom he had been a factory-trained tech for over 25 years. Kris earned both the ETCP Electrician and ETCP Theatrical Rigging certifications during his years at BMI Supply.
Notable projects during Kris’s tenure include The Palace Theater (Albany, NY), Proctor's Theater, (Schenectady, NY), C.O.O.L. Insurance Arena (Glens Falls, NY), Double H Ranch (Lake Luzerne, NY), The Baseball Hall of Fame (Cooperstown, NY), The NYS Senate Chambers (Albany, NY), among others.
Kris was an extraordinarily kind and considerate person that cared deeply for his work. Kris will be sorely missed by his colleagues at BMI Supply, and across the technical theatre community in New York State.
Donations in Kris’s memory can be made to The Joshua Fund Dog Rescue (https://www.joshuafundrescue.org) or The Double H Ranch (https://www.doublehranch.org/).
