Lighting Design of The Winter's Tale

Abstract

The purpose of this Thesis is to provide research, supporting paperwork and production photographs that represent the lighting design for <The Winter's Tale> by William Shakespeare at the University of Maryland, Department of Theatre. This thesis contains the following documentation: Research Images which contribute to the intellectual design of the production and visually communicate to the director the ideas of texture, color, quality, and angle of light; a preliminary, rough, and final wish list used in the design development process; the scenic ground plan and section; all three plates of the light plot communicating to the electricians where to hang each individual lighting unit; the channel hookup and instrument schedule paperwork which support the light plot; the cue track used to develop and record the cue structure; and the magic sheet used to efficiently access the design tools. Archival production photographs are included to visually document the completed final design.
