Eden Cope is a Detroit–based lighting designer with a BFA in Theatre Design & Technology from Wayne State University. With a background in performance art and a deep connection for storytelling, she approaches lighting not just as a technical craft, but as an emotional language - one that shapes atmosphere, supports narrative, and brings the unseen to life.

Outside of the theatre, Eden brings that same sense of dedication and care to the ice rink. A former competitive hockey player, she now coaches youth hockey with a focus on empowerment, mentorship, and fostering inclusive spaces, especially for girls and young women in the sport.

At the heart of everything Eden does, is a drive to create experiences that feel intentional, collaborative, and deeply human.
