The Marriage of Bette and Boo
Lighting Design
The Marriage of Bette and Boo is a play about a boy (Matt) in college who has these flashbacks about his parents meeting, falling in love, and having many children but only the one who is him that survives. Throughout the play there are various characters who are the family members who are quite crazy with some deaths until the end when the mother (Bette) who ends up depressed from the loss of all the children. With the design of this show it was decided that there were the two families on stage left and stage right where we were able to switch back and forth between them quickly. Not only having this ability we also wanted to show that this was almost a dream that Matt was having with the use of clouds to cover the blue painted set.
