Westlake's 2011Nutcracker Spectacular
Mr. Dave's Theatre Lighting Design Class

"As a general rule, scenic and lighting designs should almost never be trying to get noticed. A good design supports the show and makes it better, but not so much that it's the focus of the audience or the critics. Even so, it's always nice when someone notices all the hard work... " Stephen Pruitt, Austin, TX Lighting Designer
