Moonchildren marked the inaugural use of the Armory Theatre's new low-energy lighting system with an incandescent-free design. I authored the grant that provided the Department of Theatre with LED, HID, and Plasma lighting equipment to reduce energy consumption by ninety percent. Designing Moonchildren, set in the 1960s, with a high-tech lighting system proved an exciting challenge, which is detailed in the article below. A huge thanks to Lino for his detailed scenery on a budget and to Ed Menta for being the most gracious director while I pulled out my hair! The future is here, and it is multi-colored.
