My role on The Lathe of Heaven:

Projection Design

Press:

One major creative aspect of the show is the use of projections. Along with playing an ensemble of characters, Georgetown’s Mark Camilli, Vanessa Chapoy, Jonathan Compo, Michaela Farrell, Kate Ginna, Adrian Iglesias, and Maddy Rice use an onstage video camera and overhead projector to display explosions, alien invasions, and newscasts. I enjoyed watching them create the visuals at stage right and left while seeing the finished product projected at the center, like shadow puppetry. Projection designer Danny Carr has concocted a delightful Do-It-Yourself-Science-Kit kind of effect, and it totally works.

Three white shelving units packed with white storage boxes command the stage (Power did the novel set design). Stage right and left are metal tables that are in view of video cameras, about to be utilized by the inspired Projection Designer Danny Carr. During the show, members of the ensemble [...] sit at those tables nimbly positioning puppets, mounted graphics, and other objects to be shown on the shelving units. Over the course of the 90-minute run time, this mini meta-theater effect just keeps getting cleverer.
