Scott Sizemore - Lighting Designer

*Seven Against Thebes* SDSU Theatre Director - Chris Salata Scenic Designer - Robert Mark Morgan Costume Designer - Lynn Hooks Lighting Designer - Scott Sizemore Photographs by Scott Sizemore & Robert Mark Morgan Set in Sarajevo 1992, this somewhat altered version of the original script attempted to draw a parallel between Aeschulus' play and the more modern situation in Bosnia-Hertzogovina. The play followed a group of refugees as the audience was meant to follow them through three separate spaces.
Outside the Don Powell Theatre Architectural fixtures were refocused on the windows to light translucent drops for effect inside.

The audience follows the refugees into the Don Powell Theatre--a raw space where barbed wire lines the seats, aisle lights shine without grates, and spotlights roam the area in searchlight fashion. A pair of "jokers" offer some exposition and then lead the audience into the SDSU Experimental Theatre.
