Book Description This established and respected text for courses in scene design and stage lighting offers a contemporary viewpoint from two experienced authors. Current trends are highlighted, such as the importance of collaboration in the theatrical process. Dance lighting is discussed in detail. The discussion of automated fixture design and control is the most extensive available. The light plot and paperwork for the Broadway show Tommy highlight the most current theatrical practices. The changing nature of the field is reflected in the discussion of the growing use of computers in design, drafting, and technical production. Current electronic drawing systems, such as CAD, are included. A new chapter on "Lighting for the Commercial Theatre-Broadway and Regional" prepares students for working in this arena.END | ||

An indispensable reference book for all theatre techies ! Working backstage? Asked by your local community theatre to pitch in doing props? Foolishly said, "Of course I can build a tree(Silly fool only God can)! Here are the helpful hints and clues that will point you in the right direction without looking like a total fool. Design, construction, lights and sound- Oren Parker has it all. This latest edition is my third copy! They just keep getting better and better. This "rumor" best explains the abilities of one of the authors. A colleague once related the story in which Oren Parker showed up in the university scene shop in a three piece suit, painted a full back drop and walked out without a drop of paint on the suit. I'd be interested in knowing how true this is but not any less impressed with how informative this book has been for me. Well worth the exorbitant price. | ||
Invaluable guide for novices and professionals I can't tell you how often I've found myself saying "I'm a carpenter, not a designer!" when asked to design a set. I've always muddled through, but now, with this book in hand, I've found 100% more confidence in my designs. Invaluable for the lighting designer who wants to better understand scenic design, and for the scenic designer who wants to understand lighting design. Buy it! | ||
