The first photo is a wide angle shot of the basic staging, showing a nice overview of the drastic lighting choices made by our LD, Shelley Strosser-Holland. The other two photos are closeups on talent, displaying the basic white and blue wash on play area that is mixed with the bold and vibrant colors. Color was used drastically in this show to set up play areas as well as mood and tone.

These are several archive photos from a dress rehearsal of oklahoma. We were trying to create a big sky feeling that changed throughout the progress of the play to replicate the progress through the day. We used roscoe gels exclusively, and I was a lighting tech on the show.

Sarah Ruhl's Passion Play takes place in three acts, in three separate time periods, in three separate places. Because of this, the play took on three separate visual and theatrical styles, which were set apart largely by the use of color on my part. In order to do this I needed distinct, saturated colors to set each act apart in addition to a core plot of relatively unsaturated colors that could be versatile enough to use in all three by working with these saturated colors to create some variety within each act.
