These three pictures are from the sewer scenes in my high school's production of Urinetown. The first picture features the rebels threatening Hope Cladwell as she is tied up. The blue, representing the night and darkness in the sewers that is in both the grate gobo and filling the stage is R74, and it is diffused by R101, except for in the gobo. There is a small circle of light for the practical, which is simply R101 and there is a very light bit of facelight made by R02 diffused with R101.

Theatre on the Rocks - Jan 2009

I enjoy simple lighting- bold or subtle, and the Rosco colors help me to create such looks, with their wide range of durable gels.

I served as the technical director for a local community theater's children's summer camp. This production of Alice in Wonderland was so bright and colorful and so much fun to design! The set and light design was completed in about one week due to personal conflicts, and as the photo shows, there was still some work to be done on the final day of rehearsal. In this production, I explored using a pink as a key (as opposed to my standard ambers) and used R33 No Color Pink and utilized other saturated colors like R27 Medium Red, R74 Night Blue, and my favorite, R86 Pea Green!
