"Light and Color on the Stage"
Valerie Goldston
Assistant in Theater and Dance
Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville
Theatrical stage lighting demonstrates many of the physical principles of light and color. I will show examples of the lens and reflectors used in stage lighting instruments. I will discuss the fundamentals of theater lighting design and how the lighting instruments are used to create the desired effects for the University Theater's current production of the musical, "Working" by Stephen Schwartz.
