Plot Luck: Joe Levasseur Lights What To Wear

Live Design Online: Known as a downtown avant-garde theatre renegade, Foreman (1937-2025) created this bitingly funny post-rock opera skewering the superficial pressures of society. This historic re-staging at BAM honors Foreman's trailblazing legacy, and confirms Gordon’s ceaseless musical vitality.

I really enjoy Plot Luck and the fact that they share plots from a lot of big shows. They even shared the plots from the Super bowl, which were cool to see. I must say that the plot that's attached in this article is not one of the prettiest plots I've seen, and I don't think it exactly reaches all of the standards we are being taught. But it is still helpful to see the ways that other people are drafting. I am intrigued because they said that this show uses mostly lights with no color, which is an uncommon and, I'd imagine, fairly difficult thing to do. Color is one of the most important attributes of light, and I feel like it'd be very difficult to create. a variety of looks with no color. I'm also curious what this show itself is like, because the article says that they use four different sets of "eyelights" for the audience.
