As Producer and Executive Producer for Bumbershoot, the Seattle Arts Festival since 1980, he has grown the four-day arts event from a splashy street fair to an internationally recognized showcase for innovative artists and new music.

One Reel also produces and programs downtown Seattle's only outdoor concert venue, Summer Nights at the Pier.
Langill's other roles include Artistic Director for the Washington Mutual Family Fourth and Teatro ZinZanni (the popular European-style cabaret in San Francisco and Seattle). Throughout his years at One Reel, Langill has been the producer of Seattle's Fat Tuesday, Tacoma's Art Bowl, the 1990 Goodwill Arts Festival with Turner Broadcasting, AT&T Wireless Summer Nights at the Pier, the 1990 US tour of the Grand Kabuki Theatre, Yabuhara Kengyo and Gumbo Ya-Ya at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
