2. Synopsis
During a snow storm a bus from Kansas
City pulls up to a small town diner. Here, the
two lead characters, Cherie and Bo Decker
share an interesting relationship. While Bo
Decker fights for his love Cherie, she does
not feel the same for him. Will Masters, the
sheriff eventually stands up for Cherie,
causing a quarrel between him and Bo.
Throughout the play, various romantic
relationships are discussed and introduced.
3. The setting of the play takes place in a diner
located near a bus stop. The diner is not fancy,
but more of a subtle environment.
4. Shape and Form
However, noticing the
characters faces is one thing,
however the audience should
feel they are actually in the
diner as well. Thus, I propose
a lighting on some of the
props that will be used such
as the diner chairs and tables.
Also, when characters are on
the spot such as Bo and
Cherie, I will add a small
focus of light to their faces.
5. Mood and Style
The different
techniques used for light
design have a major impact
on the mood and style the
play is giving off back to the
audience. For example,
while the play has a
romantic scene, I will have
a nice lighting on the
moonlight in the snowstorm.
When the quarrel is
occurring, there would be
an intense dark, vivid
lighting, yet maintaining all
aspects of visibility.
6. Rhythm
With all the different
changes in light there has to
be a constant flow as well.
The lighting cannot
drastically and noticeably
shift from scene to scene.
Instead, the lights after each
scene would slowly dim
down, causing the audience
to feel a sense of curiosity.
Before each scene, the lights
would dim back again while
in the process of
reintroducing the characters
to the stage.
7. a more bright, capturing yellow
color.
Dim lighting showing the
mood of sadness and the
theme of loneliness.
