Design Statement
This production of Guys and Dolls was not only my first show with the Monomoy Theatre but was also my first musical. This design stretched the lighting rig to its limits, with multiple locations throughout New York and Cuba. The lighting for this production needed to help transport the audience from scene to scene as well as help tell the time of day of each scene. While working in realism I was able to keep this upbeat musical bright and energetic and broke our realism at moments to support the over-the-top energy that was given by the music and performers.
