Especially Useful for Drama Students

This is a great introductory guide to stage lighting for drama students or novices in the field of lighting. Beginning with background on the history of stage lighting, the authors next examine the role of the lighting designer. They go on to describe and discuss the operation of basic lighting equipment. Chapters on planning for proscenium arch, thrust stage, and arena theatres, production procedures, and special effects are augmented with a special projects section based on the authors' own productions. Basic electrical safety is emphasized throughout and is the subject of a chapter including electrical theory. Lighting the small stage with limited resources is also discussed in detail.
