Retreat event for pre-teens. Used rosco gels and patterns for color and texture to accent the set design which tool place on a farm. Primarily used r59, r57, r74, and r02 in addition to other misc rosco filters.

To create life-impacting experiences that enable young people to know and to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.

During the song"Maybe" in the production of "Annie", I used R69 in a side light system to create a deep-sleep night time effect. I wanted the stage to look calm to the eye as the song discussed safe thoughts (home, love, wanting, etc) but I also wanted to have a glimpse of hope in the future by using R34 in the opposite side light system to achieve a look for hope.

This is a picture from one of our talentshows in our church. We used a lot of LEDs but also some conventionals with colorscrollers.

Doctor Miracle is a comic opera that takes place over a period of one day. Color plays a huge role in creating the time of day as well as the atmosphere of heightened reality around the melodramatic characters.

Final scene with the wall open from Handprint Alley.

Through stories of adventure and valiance, "Aunt Leaf" explores the depths of a child's mind, blurring the line between fantasy and reality. The lighting served to delineate between the real and the made up, creating a visual vocabulary saturated with color. Blues, ambers and hints of green created our grounded world of reality. As pinks, purples and oranges filled the space, this world of fantasy became brighter but eventually overwhelming. Photos 1&3 are in the world of reality while 2&4 are in the world of imagination. The last photo shows a fusion of both.

Beatification of Area Boy was written by Nigerian author Wole Soyinka, who won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1986. The play is a series of vignettes, all strung together by a common event: the destruction of a shanty town to make way for modern oil-money demands. The overnight burning of the shanty town happens before the play begins, and thus is the cause of the "blood red sunrise" that starts the show. The Nigerian civil war is recalled by the Mother Courage type, Mama Put, who still carries the bayonet soldiers used to kill her brother.

This is the scene in "Bridge to Terabithia" when Jess and Leslie take their pet, Princess Terrian, to Terabithia for the first time. Every time they were in Terabithia I used mysterious side lighting.

The lighting for this show, Romeo and Juliet, was important for setting the tone and the setting for the scenes. In the funeral scene, toplight is used to create an eerie shadow on the actors' faces. This can be done because there is no talking. There is also a projection of a cross onto the cyc to put a religious overtone in the scene. In the night scenes, a moon box is used behind the cyc, and R60, no color blue is used to put the scene in nighttime. There is a spot on Juliet's balcony to make her stand out.

These photographs depict the scenes in the play Romeo and Juliet where the lighting helped make the scene. For example, in the funeral scene, there is a lot of top light, making shadows on the actors' faces, in addition to the cross projected on the cyc. In the night scenes, a moon box was used in addition to heavy use of R60, no color blue, to put the scene at nighttime.
