After an exhausting week of attempting to learn how to light a three-quarter thrust show (Audience on three sides), I think we are finally ready to open. As usual, yesterday was the photo show, so I'd just like to share some of those with you. Check them out on facebook! One of my favorite lightingwise scenes was the sex scene, but for obvious reasons, that's not on there. You'll just have to trust me that it was pretty....the lighting that is. Anyways, it should be a pretty fun show to watch, on to Laughing Stock now...
No updates for some time now, but I'm back. Thanksgiving break was a cruelly short-lived tease before finals, but it's finally dawning upon me after finishing my first class of the semester (minus the final...minor detail).
The good news is that this weekend should be awesome! Friday is an on-campus VQ show which should be awesome! In addition, it is opening night for the play I did lighting design for, "Speech & Debate". Finally, it's also initiation for YDN, meaning that I will no longer be known as Contributing Photographer, but rather Staff Photographer.
Speech and Debate goes up this Friday at 8, then runs Saturday and Sunday at 6:30 and 9:00 both days. It takes place in Nick Chapel (theater in Trumbull), which is a smallish space seating 50-60 people. It has 20 dimmers, and 24 lights. Nice little place really. Naturally I took a set of pictures that can be found on facebook. For more about my lighting design read on!
First, there's a new header image for the blog...can you find it before I run out of bandwidth? That means there are now 10 different images you could be seeing, who knows...maybe I'll even have a cameo in one sometime.
Second, Gahhh. Full Monty load-in has been all this week, it's slightly ridiculous how much time it has taken. A number of calamities have befallen the production, however it looks like tonight we will *finally* be done. This was my first time working in the UT (University Theater), which is the best theater on campus. After working there, however, I made a promise to myself that I will try to never do lighting design or be Master Electrician in that space...it just takes too long.
Issues aside, the lights are amazing. All 204-some of them. I haven't seen the show yet, but I look forward to it. Last weekend, I saw Rocky Horror Picture Show...it was strange...enough said. Finally, I have my first visitor this weekend albeit briefly!!! So that should be very fun, and a welcome break from all the theater work I've done this past week.
After tons of work, the Darq Knight opens tonight!!! In celebration of this, I am posting two of my favorite photos on the photo blog. The first is available now, and the second will be posted on closing night (Saturday). The full album is available on Facebook. Enjoy!

Darq Knight the musical was a huge success. I have a couple posts about it that you can check out here.

A little viral ad I made for the Darq Knight, the musical. Should be a pretty incredible show.
