Jonathon’s chair

demolition-dim the lights

on the rest of the stage

so that there is only a

spot light left on

Jonathon and his actions,

and the faint light of the

falling snow.

on fire: Fransico as his desk with a small yellow spot

light, when Maris speaks the light grows and fades

out.

As each guest of the funeral comes in a spot light will follow

them and stay with them as they are seated as far as possible

from one another. As the group begins to talk about Maria, and

apologize to one another, the spot lights grow larger and grow

into one another until they all the lights are unified, just as the

group becomes unified.

At Maria’s funeral she enters

the room and is unseen by the

other characters, however a

small spotlight is cast on her

as she moves about and finally

a bright strong red spot light

is on her as she loudly sings

the last verse of the song.

The fireworks at the end of the play are off in the

distance and will not only be displayed by sound, but

also with a variety of up lights flashing synchronized

with the booming sound effects of fireworks. Similar

to the snow lighting effect, we will use it in color to

convey the visual of the continuously falling confetti.
