The document provides lighting directions for a play called "Wintertime" to create various effects, such as falling snow, memories on fire, and fireworks. Specific instructions include using red up lights near a potbelly stove, dimming lights on a character except for a spotlight, growing and fading a spotlight on a character's memories, following characters with spotlights as they are seated at a funeral, unifying spotlights as characters become unified, casting a spotlight on a singing character at a funeral, and flashing up lights synchronized with sound effects to represent fireworks.

effect to the potbelly stove

5. ACT ON E
Jonathon’s chair demolition-dim
the lights on the rest of the stage
so that there is only a spot light
left on Jonathon and his
actions, and the faint light of the
falling snow.

6. ACT ON E
Fransico at his desk lighting his memories of Maria on fire: Fransico
as his desk with a small yellow spot light, when Maris speaks the light
grows and fades out.

7. ACT TWO
As each guest of the funeral comes in a spot light will follow them and
stay with them as they are seated as far as possible from one another.
As the group begins to talk about Maria, and apologize to one another,
the spot lights grow larger and grow into one another until they all the
lights are unified, just as the group becomes unified.

8. ACT TWO
At Maria’s funeral she enters the room
and is unseen by the other characters,
however a small spotlight is cast on her
as she moves about and finally a bright
strong red spot light is on her as she
loudly sings the last verse of the song.

9. ACT TWO
The fireworks at the end of the play are off in the distance and will
not only be displayed by sound, but also with a variety of up lights
flashing synchronized with the booming sound effects of fireworks.
Similar to the snow lighting effect, we will use it in color to convey the
visual of the continuously falling confetti.
