and the curtain falls

Last week was the opening and closing of the ballet, Treasure Island, written & choreographed by my good friend, Kim Vlcek. I have been dying to share these photos with you, and I am so excited to finally show you a sample of one of my many lighting designs. I really hope you enjoy it!! Please be aware, this is a picture heavy post. All photographs are courtesy of Don Foley, the photographer of the ballet (he also happens to be my awesome dad).

    Ooh, it looks so pretty! Great job! Sounds like you put a lot of extra time into it and it shows!

    Have any idea what your next project is? Or are you taking a break?

    You did a great job on the lighting! I am involved in a ballet too but I am doing the costuming ( classical tutus, headpieces etc ) lighting does make a big difference in the mood changes. If I were needing a stage lighting designer, I would definetley call you!
