August Wilson Cycle at the Kennedy Center

New York Times: "The staging of all the plays at once — it runs March 4 through April 6 — is a first, organizers said. Michael Kaiser, the president of the Kennedy Center, said that even before Wilson died of liver cancer in 2005, there had been a discussion about presenting the plays as a whole. “These are 10 spectacular works,” he said."

I am curious how the technical aspects of the show will be dealt with here. In such a short time-span, each show must only have a few performances. I am curious as to whether or not they will use teh same set for each of the shows, which I think could certainly be designed. Also, I am curious as to whether or not each show will have its own lighting design, which could be dictated a lot by the choice about the set.
