  • With lighting that must adapt each night to audience decisions and character interactions, Lighting Designer Mike Wood and his team faced a unique task. 'Every night is a new adventure,' Wood explained. 'The audience and characters make different choices, which changes how the show unfolds. To handle this, we had to design a system that could respond in real-time to every possible twist and turn while appearing to the audience to be a natural linear playback.'

  • Wood was joined by a highly experienced team, including Associate Lighting Designers Dalton Hamilton and Abby May, Programmer Henry Wilen, Production Electrician Dan Mullins, and show control designer, Chet Miller from 4Wall New York. Together, they crafted a flexible lighting control system that mirrors the dynamic nature of the show.

    The cozy tavern set is elaborate, inviting, and functional. Live dice rolls are cleverly projected behind the stage, part of the immersive lighting, projection, and sound design that top off the experience.
