Join lighting designer Joshua Benghiat as he takes you behind the scenes of the Broadway production of Our Town at the Barrymore Theatre, directed by Kenny Leon and lit by Allen Lee Hughes.
Benghiat, associate lighting designer for the production, will share his process for designing and executing a complex lighting plan, balancing the team’s artistic vision with technical precision. Learn how he tackled unique design challenges — such as hanging lanterns, unconventional audience seating, and limited fixture placement — while leveraging digital tools like Vectorworks and BeamViz for visualization and pre-planning.
This session will highlight the
role of 3D modeling, visualization, and data visualization in streamlining the
lighting workflow, offering valuable insights for designers at all levels.
