Polish Joke
Audrey Herman Spotlighters Theatre
Directed by: Jon Sadowsky
A comedy about a man's struggle against his Polish heritage.
This show was lit in a variety of ways, from starkly realistic to strange and almost surreal. This all had to be accomplished using the small number of dimmers and instruments available at Spotlighters. The show also had to switch from green (Ireland) to red (Poland) many times without making the actors look sick.
