This arrangement can appear striking, especially when saturated colors, like bright yellow and cobalt blue, drench the backdrop. (lighting design by Joseph R. Walls)”

“Sara Barker (Catherine) put on a brave face, but her character slowly slips from incredulously to outright terrified. Each gradual change of emotion plays across her face, helped by Lighting Designer Joseph R. Walls’ use of colors to set the mood of each scene” -DC METRO THEATER ARTS
