The role of the lighting designer within theatre is to work
with the director, set designer, and costume designer, to create an overall
'look' for the show in response to the text, while keeping in mind issues of
visibility, safety and cost. The lighting designer also works closely with the
stage manager on show control programming.
We have modern, computer capable equipment for lighting
design. From this station, the house manager can control all the lights in the
building. There is a special emergency switch in the system that when thrown
shuts down all the lights instantly. The house lights have emergency battery
backup power to special lamps in the art deco sconces that provide illumination
in any emergency.
