Annie

As the show starts it is a cold dark or-phanage that An-nie small bright light of hope shines on and as the play continues the lighting gets brighter and the colors more happy as her light shines to the world.

Sherlock Holmes: Hound of Baskervilles

There were three main set pieces the window, door, and fireplace. The set was inside. So it was challenge to show the night and creepiness of the hound. This was done on a grid lighting system.

Dreamweaver

This performance was set around a “bon fire.” I created a backwash with LEDs to rep-resent the progression of the story. The fire in middle started out strong and fierce but as the flames dwindled so did the light on the fire.

The Hiding Place

The Hiding Place is set during WWII. There was no color in this show, so I used gobos to cre-ate the effect of bars and barbed wire hold-ing its Prisoners.

You’re a Good Man, Charlie

Brown My design idea for this show was the lighting playing and moving with the “kids”. I used a red baron gobo which chased Snoopy around on stage. The LEDs were programmed to go beat to beat with the music. When Charlie Brown Kit flew the lights followed.

Oliver

I designed this show in a few hours and made it come to life in 24 hours. The director wanted to show the reality of Oliver world and the darkness that surrounded him, but also the reality of life that came from the charac-ters he met.

Arsenic and Old Lace

The set is the house of the sisters, I set LEDs behind the window to show the time of day as the story unfolds. The morning and day lighting had more green and the night lighting was a darker and had the shadows of the trees.

It’s a

Wonderful Life

My design was a fun colorful show with a moon gobo, which was my proud and joy. I also, created a water effect for the pool so as the pool opens this water starts to come out and at the end be-fore the blackout it looks like George and Mary are “falling” into the wa-ter.

Release

This was a black box style, so the di-rector wanted the technical aspects to shine. I designed a hexagon pro-jection and also had a small square one.

The lighting was simple and showed the darkness that surrounded the main character till he was “released” from his past.

The sound design was a major component in this show. The sound effects gave clues to the audi-ence where they were going next.

Into the Woods, Jr.

The lighting was whimsi-cal but also gloomy as they face the trials in the woods. The biggest chal-lenge in this close knit theatre space was the transformation of the witch. I used a fog ma-chine to mask her trans-formation.

Les Miserables

The lighting design was more realistic with a edge of abstract for Javert and Jean Val Jean death.

I used a bar gobo at the end of Javert death that became visible towards the end of his monologue with a red LED.

The set design, was very simple, but I did build a wall on the top that actu-ally explode during the fall of the bar-ricade.

Wizard of Oz

The World of Oz came to life with lots of LEDS, gobos, fog, and a snow machine. The Wicked Witch of the West, was a fun challenge to make appear on part of the stage then come up on the other side. Fog is a best friend.

Kaitlyn’s Recital: A Good Man is Hard to Find This was a one woman show, the only set pieces were the chairs and the piano. I had one LED aimed right

on top of the piano to play with the different colors in the piano. Then as the people were killed in the

show, I had red LEDs come on and a light on each of the chairs to represent their deaths.
