The lighting department works with the director and cast to help the audience visualize the show. They use different instruments to light the space the actors are using on stage to help the audience focus on the action of the play, indicate the time of day, set the mood of a scene, and of course to help the audience see the actor's faces!
The videos below will give you an introduction to the different lighting instruments we use on stage crew and some ways that they can be used.
Flood Lights- Cyc Lights
Frenels
Profiles- Source 4s
Beam Lights- Pars & Birdies
