"Blackbird" for City Theatre 2009

This is a challenging play for any audience member.  The setting is an industrial break room. Tony's design ended up with the audience facing each other across the stage.  I asked for a lot of fluorescent practicals.  The director, Stuart Carden, loved the idea.  The theater space has a normal fixed grid height of 15'00".  The deck was elevated 3'00".  We dropped the fluorescents to a trim height of 9'00".  They worked great in the end.  The production had very strong direction and very good acting.  In the end even though i was very happy with my work but the essence of the play does not make it a favorite of mine.
