Apart from our loads of white light, we used R385 as our top/rim light. We picked R385 because it beautifully clashed with the spray paint that was used throughout the set. It also worked as one of our main switches between night and day cues. R02 was used in our other top/rim light system. was great for the punches that are called for within the show.

Rosco colors were critical to the feel of "12: A Performance Piece for Twelve Actors." The Show, stark, industrial, and desolate, needed light and texture to render the very minimal set visually engaging. R3202, and R60 were used to clean up the color temperature of PAR64s and 6" Altman 750w fresnels.

R3315 was used in footlights to develop a "something is not so right" feel. This super-pale green reads as a very subtle effect.

R08 proved contrast to the stark set and environment for performer lighting and subtle skin-tone blending.

For this production of Stage Door, I decided to use my old favorites of R02 and R60 for my general wash, with my afternoon wash created using R318, one of my favorite Rosco colors. I also used R27 through the window SL to create the feel of a neon sign at night. Lighting design and photographs by myself, Joe Watrach. Master Electrician: Justine Burke

The director wanted a frozen feeling on the statues with contrasting colors on the lycra panels as the hands start to come through. Fresnels shooting through the expanded steel of the catwalk produce a gobo effect. This is my favorite shot from this production.

The photos are from Wartburg College's Neumann Auditorium. The show is "Battle of the Unsigned Artists." The lighting design is my own. Photos may be blurry because they were taken from a camera phone.
The colors used are:
R317
R393
R332
R385
R27

R33
R119
R02
The idea behind the colors chosen was to give the light op the most possible play while still blending and highlighting when needed.

Christmas with Wartburg is a holiday concert with over 300 performers. It tours throughout Iowa at the beginning of December. I have been the lighting designer since 2005. This is the 2009 performance, one of my favorites. The white fabric across the proscenium represent angels wings. I used consumer LED lights of blue and white to light this. The front light is a R02 wash or a R119 wash depending on the effect wanted in each number. The orchestral shells are along the back and sides.
