Review: Scenes of a Rabble-Rouser as a Renaissance Artist
onstagepittsburgh.com: Speaking truth to power is never easy, but when it comes in torrential waves, from a bawdy, belligerent, brilliant Renaissance-era woman, well, buckle up. A bumpy and breathtaking road lies ahead.

I had the pleasure of seeing this performance last Wednesday with many of my friends also in the program, and it was definitely an unforgettable show. All of the performances were very well done with a beautiful design to accompany them. The costumes, scenic, lighting, and sound all worked very well together to paint a beautiful picture (no pun intended,) and it is always a lot of fun to see performers and professors who we all admire doing what they do best. What stood out to me most was the collaboration of lighting design and scenic. The lighting set the scene so well, from an art gallery, to a scaffolding filled painting studio, to a dark and depressing jail cell. The scenic elements supported this well, as the reveal of the painting in the second act was both surprising and brilliantly done. All of this was also done in an abandoned church, which I imagine also offered its own set of challenges.
