The Wild Party
Lighting Design
The Wild Party is a musical that is based off of the poems by Joseph Moncure March. Two characters, Queenie and Burrs, are living together in a Manhattan apartment where they have become bored and have a "wild party." They invite everyone that they know and one thing after another happens to where in the end there is death, overdose on drugs, and denial that anything has happened. In my design I wanted to show that they apartment they are living in is grungy and not suitable for any inhabitants. However whenever there is a moment of song or dance, the lights would pop to saturated colors and non realistic angles for an apartment to show how wild and crazy this party is just as if we as the audience are experiencing the party through the eyes of those who are attending.
