University Theatre is coming up with another famous play written by Arthur Miller. Toni Award winning drama The Crucible directed by Kate Frank is performing now in University Theatre . Chillingly relevant for all times, Arthur Miller’s famous play is a fictionalized account of the witch trials that swept through Salem Village in 1692 ending in the executions of nineteen innocent people. In the battle over the souls of early Puritans, this tale of theocracy, vengeance and betrayal provides a thrilling piece of theater that drips with the blood of our early American ancestors. TICKETS ARE FREE FOR STUDENTS FOR THE WEDNESDAY,THURSDAY AND SUNDAY PERFORMANCE OR 3$ FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. For more information visit Drama department website
I asked Sandra E.Bunch, senior stage designer in the UofA, about the role of the lightening in this play.
Was it challenging for you to work on the stage lighting?
“The hang and focus of every show is essentially the same, but each show has it’s own problems to solve. The lighting designer for this show (Justin Ashley, MFA Lighting candidate), has lights underneath the stage itself as well as in the side coves and on the overhead electrics. Seeing how to hook up the lights under the stage was interesting and a couple of the lights down there were a challenge to put up. It was fun to work with the rest of the lighting crew to figure out how to get them in exactly the right position,” Sandra said.
