Boris Aronson: Central Park to Antium: Large and Lofty Views
written by John Beaufort, 1911-1992, in The Christian Science Monitor, May 16, 1959, p. 6 (1959), 1 page(s)
"Our theater is terribly old-fashioned," said Boris Aronson resignedly. "It's mostly concerned with plays about relatives. It doesn't reflect our times --it is in no way experimental or contemporary. By contemporary, I don't mean combining 'Romeo and Juliet' and juvenile delinquency.

Theatrical lighting is more complicated than focusing a spotlight on the face of the actor who is speaking. Lighting design creates the mood, sets the time of day, and can evoke the passage of time in a production, in addition to playing a pivotal role in transitions between scenes.

Theatrical lighting is more complicated than focusing a spotlight on the face of the actor who is speaking. Lighting design creates the mood, sets the time of day, and can evoke the passage of time in a production, in addition to playing a pivotal role in transitions between scenes. Most lighting designers are freelancers who are hired on a per-project basis, even at some institutional theaters. In most instances, lighting designers are hired by directors or set designers with whom they have worked well in the past, with the producer having the final say. For more elaborate productions like Broadway musicals, lighting designers may require an assistant. Whether they are working on Broadway or in regional theaters, lighting designers are collaborators. The collaborative process between lighting designers, directors, set designers, and costume designers starts weeks before actors are present. Lighting designers Jennifer Tipton, Natasha Katz, Christopher Akerlind, and Brian MacDevitt discuss their careers.
