If you handle lighting, video, rigging or some other aspect of production for a house of worship’s annual Christmas production, February might seem to be a little too early to start planning a Christmas production. The people at Prestonwood Baptist Church, by contrast, don’t wait until February to launch into their vision of what’s to come the following December. Andy Pearson, Prestonwood’s director of creative production, and production designer Matt Webb of the New York-based design firm, UVLD, are among those who plan and prep for the lavish holiday show year-round.
