Justin Peone is the Technical Director of the Rosendale Theatre. He has worked professionally with computers for over 25 years, and has handled most of the technology needs of the Theatre since its purchase by the community. He is a computer specialist who has adapted to the changing digital media needs at the Theatre. He made it possible for Tony Caccio to continue to project after the transition to digital movies. He handles lighting, sound and streaming for live shows, sometimes all at once. If you have been to a live show produced by the Theatre, you have seen some of his work. He will be opening Rosendale Tech on Main Street in Rosendale shortly. He wants to help spread enthusiasm for technological change and adaptation, while furthering social connection and interaction. Technology can help bring people together, rather than isolate them.
