Stealing the Lightning Bolt
The Lightning Thief was such a fun show to light! This was a new space, but similar to ones I had utilized in the past, so I was familiar with lighting in the round and in small spaces. We used light to convey the story and the emotion of the characters as this epic adventure took place.
We created a custom gobo of a trident (above) as an effect, and we needed to also be able to solo zone certain areas. We used mosaic lighting to create water for the beach and the underworld, which added a touch of magic to the scenes. I enjoyed the challenge of lighting this rock musical and travel with our stars on their journey.
This production of The Lightning Thief was performed at Olympia Family Theater in October, 2023.
