Designs for Dancing.

On Friday, the design team for Dancing at Lughnasa presented their designs to the cast before their read through. Lughnasa is being directed by Malinda Vaughn, who teaches theatre at Souther Utah University, in collaboration with her designers, really want to  drive the point that the play is a memory. The set is design by Alana Pichot and lighting by Andie Szekely, presents the theme elegantly. The play is set in 1936, which will be reflected in the beautiful costume designs done by Andrew Haueter. As well as having amazing sound by Brand Gowers. Gowers has chosen a few musical instruments that reflect each of the characters. With this he plans to create music for the show that will set the tone for the audience. Lughnasa is set the fictional town of Ballybeg Ireland, which of course none of the cast members are from. To make their accents believable, they will be assisted by Peter Sham, who is also a an Associate Professor at SUU, as the voice and dialect coach. Dancing at Lughnasa opens November 5th. We are so excited.
