Jules Fisher (1937-present) is an American lighting designer and producer, credited with lighting designs for over 300 productions over the course of his 50-year long career. He has worked on lighting for both Broadway and Off-Broadway shows, as well as film, and concerts. A few of his most notable stage lighting design works  are Pippin (1973), Jesus Christ Superstar (1971), and Chicago (1975). He has also worked on musical numbers for several well known films such as A Star is Born (1976), Chicago (2002), and Dreamgirls (2006). He has been nominated for Tony Awards 20 times, and has won 9 Tony awards for his lighting designs, more than any other lighting designer. 

​

During his Broadway Lighting Master Class in 2008, Fisher stated the following:

​

"In the theatre, a single shaft of white light introduced into a black void carries an unobvious but potent, ritualistic power. Not just the power of the object it illuminates and its symbolic content—but the quality of light is its own meaning. It is becoming an emotional language to usher the human spirit to new realms."

​

Fisher's work highlighted the emotional quality of lighting, almost introducing the lighting as an entity of its own on the stage alongside the actors. Fisher's skills as a theater artist did not only lie in the technical and aesthetic aspects of lighting, however, but rather in his ability to form connections throughout his career and collaborate with his fellow artists.
