Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka's play “The Beatification of Area Boy” presents a kaleidoscopic view of Lagos, a poverty-stricken city projected to become one of the world’s largest cities in the coming decade. Set after after the 1990s oil boom during the displacement of Nigerian poor by the corrupt government, the play follows a Lagos street gangster, Sanda, who acts as a modern-day Robin Hood and is the leader of the local area boys. Act One begins with a "blood red" sunrise from the smouldering remains of a shanty town fire & massacre the night before.

For The Crucible I was going for a mysterious dark look during the night, but a hot but still mysterious look during the day, and colors that would help bring out the colors on the set.

This photo is of the Urinetown set. The main lighting aspect came from the parcans at the edge of the stage, which produced a creepy look on the actors' faces.

In this show, we used a variety of different lighting effects. For our main washes for 12 areas, we used R02 amber, which is shown in the photo. We also used basic RGB on the cyc, to create a variety of different colors. For a forest scene, we used a white drop onto which we projected forest-type gobos to create a forest-like atmosphere.

For this show, we used a lot of yellow and amber to create the dingy mood, also to go along with the urine theme of the show. We also used blue, green and red on the cyc to create various different times of day, as well as different moods throughout the story. We had blue, amber and purple downlights to create times of day as well, as well as different settings, such as a sewer versus a city street.

Our class of 7 graduate students and one underclassmen spent the semester working on scenic projects.
The first group project was of Jimmy Hendrix, the last group project was the Steamboat. In between we worked on bas reliefs, 3-D modeling, and woodgraining.

We use Broadway paints of all colors.
