The Colonial Players is pleased to announce free summer lighting workshops! These workshops will cover lighting starting from an introductory level, discuss working with lighting equipment and the design process, and include more advanced concepts such as working with a lighting console to program a lighting design. Lab experiences are planned and integrated with each workshop. Note that participation in all workshops is encouraged to ensure a complete experience. Each workshop is a prerequisite for the workshops that follow.
