Lighting Designer Al Gurdon Lights Rent: Live

www.livedesignonline.com/theatre: Rent: Live is the most recent of the Broadway musicals staged for a live television broadcast. Lighting designer Al Gurdon, who won a 2018 KOI-USA Award for his lighting design of last year’s live-for-broadcast production of Jesus Christ Superstar, spent a month at Fox Studio 16 in Los Angeles, rehearsing for the January 27, 2019 airing. Rent is set circa 1991, during the AIDS epidemic in New York City, and the set reflects the gritty, industrial aspect of the Lower East side at that time. Check out Gurdon's plots, credits, and gear list for the production.
