Southern Comfort
FROM THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE FOR MUSICAL THEAtre’s PresideNT Welcome to our 24th Annual Festival of New Musicals! The Festival is one of the highlights of the NAMT year, bringing together 600+ industry professionals for two days of intense focus on new musical theatre works and the remarkably talented writing teams who create them. This year we are particularly excited not only about the quality, but also about the diversity—in theme, style, period, place and people—represented across the eight shows that were selected from over 150 submissions. We’re visiting 17th-century England and early 20th century New York. We’re spending some time in the world of fairy tales—but not in ways you ever have before. We’re visiting Indiana and Georgia and the world of reality TV. Regardless of setting or stage of development, every one of these shows brings something new—something thought-provoking, funny, poignant or uplifting—to the musical theatre field. This Festival is about helping these shows and writers find their futures. Beyond the Festival, NAMT is active year-round in supporting members in their efforts to develop new works. This year’s Songwriters Showcase features excerpts from just a few of the many shows under development (many with collaboration across multiple members!) to salute the amazing, extraordinarily dedicated, innovative work our members do. A final and heartfelt thank you: our sponsors and donors make this Festival, and all of NAMT’s work, possible. We tremendously appreciate your support! Many thanks, too, to the Festival Committee, NAMT staff and all of you, our audience. -

LIGHTING 102 BASIC PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES OF ENTERTAINMENT LIGHTING WWW.VLS.COM This guide is intended to give you an understanding of the general lighting process. It is a learning tool only, and is in no way, meant to be substituted for training in lighting and electronics. Reliable | Professional | Credible | FOCUSED Lighting 102 2 Music Man, Grove City College The field of entertainment lighting was once limited to theater, film and television, but has grown to include retail, display, photography, education, worship services, corporate events and trade shows. This article will provide some of the basic principles and techniques of entertainment lighting. We refer to entertainment or stage lighting in general terms, to pertain to the varied applications mentioned above. Of course, there is more than one way to approach entertainment lighting. However, what follows is basic lighting theory and practice that is recognized by our industry. Reliable | Professional | Credible | FOCUSED Lighting 102 3 FUNCTIONS OF STAGE LIGHTING The following criteria should be used to determine if stage lighting is necessary and effective. VISIBILITY Visibility is a very important function of stage lighting. The audience should be able to see exactly what you want them to see, or not see those things that should remain hidden. Therefore, we might rename this function as “selective visibility.” An example of selective visibility can be found in the play, Wait Until Dark by Frederick Knott. A blind woman is terrorized by a murderer hiding in her apartment. To even her odds against him, she smashes all of the light bulbs thus plunging him - and the audience - into darkness. -
