Tommy is one of the first pieces of theatre I saw as a young kid and it is one of the primary influences that made me want to become a lighting designer. It was an absolute joy to get to bring it to life at the Kennedy Center. The design blended seamlessly with the massive video wall upstage and brought the audience on an amazing journey from the monochromatic palette of the real world to the vivid sensations in Tommy’s mind.
As with every production in this Broadway Center Stage series, tech time was very limited, so much of this show was pre-programmed in a pre-viz simulator and then expanded upon in the space.
