Derek Smith
Scenic Designer

Derek has served as Resident Scenic Designer at Barter since 2012 (recently completing his 100th scenic design at Barter!), and prior to that he was Barter's Scenic Artist beginning in 2003. Hailing from Kingsport, TN, Derek grew up coming to shows at Barter, and he remains eternally grateful for the opportunity to continue to learn and grow as an artist at Barter, to work with such a talented group of people, and to serve the community in which he was raised. Past designs include Madame Buttermilk, A Christmas Carol (2016), Tarzan, Big Fish, Footloose, A Christmas Story, Mary Poppins, The Three Musketeers, Ring of Fire, Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol, A Streetcar Named Desire, Avenue Q, Romeo & Juliet, and Kentucky Spring. He is an alumnus of the Savannah College of Art & Design.
