Red and Brown Water

Even though I wrote my paper on "Godot", I wish I could have written another on "R&BW." The lighting was beautiful to look at, and both told a story and aided the story being told by the actors. At first I was confused when I looked at the program and saw Stacy's name as both the lighting designer and scenic designer, but once the show began it became apparent the lighting was the scenery. From the sillhouted actors at the beginning, to the gobo's showing the actors behind bars, to the cyc lights changing for time of day, and to the dance party lights, there were lots of themed lights that fit the needs perfectly. It's hard to say what my favorite lights were because they all were so visually appealing. In short, the design was succesful in that in met the needs of the production (creating a set through lights) while maintaining striking visuals that were awesome to look at.
