Review
"Essig’s book is strong by emphasizing design for the play. The book provides a complete knowledge of lighting for the theatre, with strong areas in both design and technology for lighting."
"This book deals a lot with the ideas in the play, and I think that is of fundamental importance in the classroom."
"I adopted this text because Essig approaches lighting design as I do; she is serious about it as an art. Her approach is based on the needs of the work being lit and not on exploiting all the technical possibilities, and she articulates her views very clearly."

With coverage of professional theatre practices in both commercial and residential theater, this communication text emphasizes the process by which lighting designers turn their ideas about a piece into the medium of stage lighting. Design concepts are illustrated by the text’s art program so that concepts are easier to apply.
