Lighting design for A little going away party

This Thesis presents the various materials that evolved while designing the lighting for the Theatre Arts - University Theatre's production of A Little Going Away Party. Through various meetings with production staff the design objectives and styles of the premiere production were established. We determined that the production was dealing with an upcoming death in a positive manner and that the production elements should reflect this. The lighting design created a coolly lit cellar that was warmed progressively to reflect the growth of one of the characters as the story developed. The design also aided in drawing the audience's focus to different areas of the stage when action and dialogue required it.
