YOUR THEATRE ANNOUNCES
THEATRE LIGHTING WORKSHOP
The
two hour sessions will continue for three consecutive Thursday culminating with
the production of Enchanted April, YTI’s 3rd
major production of it’s 61st season, to be
presented January 16 – 26. The workshop is limited to four participants and is
free and open to the public. Additional workshops will be conducted in
conjunction with upcoming YTI
productions throughout the theatre’s 61st season.
According to Mr. Houbre, Jr., this workshop
will take a broad look at Theatrical Stage Lighting and how it is used to
enhance performance. Attendees will
receive a good grounding in the purpose of stage lighting; the features, use
and rigging of various lighting instruments; the plotting, hanging and focusing
of instruments and the operation of the lighting control consoles. All
participants will have the opportunity to apply the skills and techniques
learned during the workshop by actually setting up and running the YTI
production of Enchanted April. Mr. Houbre went on to
say “Attendees that complete the workshop should have a good basic knowledge of
Theatrical Stage Lighting and how to apply it.”
In
The SouthCoast, besides Your Theatre, Houbre has designed lights for dance recitals and stage
productions at UMD, All Children’s Theatre in RI, and various other performance
and theatre productions. He began his training in lighting technology at YTI in
1974 and then with UM
