A dear old friend of mine introduced me at a production meeting as "That Famous Polish Lighting Designer" and we all chuckled. During the production the crew gave me a pen/desk set with the engraving TFPLD. As the internet came into popular culture i needed an email addy. I tried 4 different names and on my last chance i looked at my pen/desk set and said of course "TFPLD"

"Marcus: or the Secret of Sweet" for City Theatre 2011

The play is told through the eyes of Marcus. It is his "coming of age/out" story. This play is the third in a trilogy. In the initial design conversations with Robert O'Hara, the director, he allowed for lots of freedom in terms of color and texture. A couple of these pictures are from Marcus' "visions/dreams". The set was a "lighting playground" but also turned out rather large in terms of square footage and was a bit of a challenge keeping the acting versus water spaces clean. The inventory at City Theatre is serviceable but I was going to be pushing the boundaries. The budgets are always tight in regional theater. Fortunately I was able to achieve most of want i wanted.
