As humans we all are cursed by the need to view
everything through our own personal knowledge and experience. If WE
haven't heard of someone, then they obviously can't be important! It is
worse even in the academic world where teachers fixate on the "hot"
names from when THEY were in school. Certain people are thus somewhat
arbitrarily designated as "stars" and then the astonishing
contributions of everyone else fade to oblivion even though their
contributions may in fact be even greater!

Donut shop lighting. Hmm. Donut
shop lighting? Yup. Sound boring? What does donut shop lighting look
like? Bright? Not many shadows? Maybe no shadows? How do you design
this? Go to a donut shop and look. Simple? Yup. To a point. Re-creating
that lighting on stage isn't that easy. We'll get to that in our
how-to: design pages soon. I'll add a link when it's done.
I'm
going to make it a little harder, but much more interesting. How about
a donut shop, with big windows, during a sunset? Better?
Hint, you'll have to team up with the set designer as to which direction the window faces.
