Case 457 A Play by Kade Mendelowitz
for use as a Lighting Design project
part of Theatrical Lighting Design Interactive
Case 457 is a short (12 min) play written by Kade Mendelowitz to be used as a Lighting Design project. Most "paper projects" don't give the student any sense of blocking or movement to the piece - watching a rehearsal, even with scripts in hand, helps the student figure out their cue plot (where cues should go) and often helps with conceptual insight and color/angle choices. I have produced three plays for the sake of "simply" giving the student a script they can read, and rehearsals they can watch which will aid them in this process. 3 sample plays are included for this purpose. |
