The Royale

Marco Ramirez

Produced by Butterfly Effect Theatre of Colorado at The Dairy Arts Center’s Carsen Theater in Boulder, Colorado

Directed by Jada Suzanne Dixon

Scenic Design by Tina Anderson

Costume Design by Sarah Zinn

β€œDixon is greatly assisted in transforming the space into various settings and moods by the work of lighting designer Emily Maddox and sound designer CeCe Smith. Maddox’s lighting color scheme of blue and orange works well for this piece. Smith’s soundscapes and ambient noises are captivating without being intrusive. The pair’s design work was particularly impressive during the fight and crowd scenes. Dixon uses a shadow-boxing staging technique, adding lighting and audio cues to highlight the punches delivered by each boxer. Maddox and Smith’s synchronization of the technical aspects during these scenes was impressive.” - Toni Tresca, OnStage Colorado

Julia Cho

Produced in the Bond-Trimble Theatre at Vintage Theatre in Aurora, Colorado

Directed by Dwayne Carrington

Assistant Director Adrienne Martin-Fullwood

Scenic Design by Michael R. Duran

Costume Design by Sloane Crazybear

Props Design by Kortney Hanson

β€œEmily Maddox’s lighting design impressively balances the character’s transitions between the set’s three playing spaces. She subtly adds colors throughout and creates a lot of cool shadows. Maddox uses a gobo on the lighting instrument to create a window effect (or is it a cage?) for when Mrs. K is near the piano is incredibly well-executed.” - Toni Tresca, OnStage Colorado
