The Rocky Horror Show by Richard O'Brian was a theatrical production presented during the autumn quarter of 2005 produced by The Ohio State University Department of Theatre in association with the Columbus Association for the Performing Arts in the historic Southern Theatre. This thesis is a documentation of the process of the scenic and lighting design for this show. The first chapters are a discussion of the preproduction elements of the project and collaboration with the production team. Later chapters will describe the design aspects in terms of the director's concepts, my analysis of the script, the technical aspects of bringing the production to downtown Columbus, Ohio, and finally an evaluation of the final product. Briefly, the director's concept was to create an abstracted unit setting emphasizing simplicity in design and technical aspects. The lighting was to inform the audience as to the setting as well as reinforce the moods and dynamics set forth in the music. Another feature which had to be prominent in the design was an element of excitement inherent in the play. To accomplish all requirements I used a variety of "found" materials in the construction of the scenery and a wide range of lighting technology available in the Theatre Department 2006 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1186698448 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1186698448 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
