Helena Troy
Audrey Herman Spotlighters Theatre
Directed by: Bill Hausserman
Co-Lighting Designer (with Tom Kowalski)

A comedy about a woman trying to write a new ancient Greek play.

The primary difficulty in this piece was making the theatre look both like an unused theatre as well as to light the author's dreamscape.
