Figure 1.--.

There is a lot involved in producing a play besides the acting. One aspect that seems to interest some of the children, mostly the boys, is lighting. Some boys are too interested in acting, but are very interested in the lighting associated with the technology and techniques associated with the lighting and sound systems. Lighting in particular can signifcantly add to the dramatic affects and some boys find this more interesting than the actual play. And there are other activities beside plays for which lihjting and souns systems are needed.

Lighting

"Probably my best hobby is controlling the lighting and sound for chapel. I find it very interesting and hope to be in charge next year, like Armitage, and do the lighting for the big plays in the Tythe Barn. I know how to work most of the stuff in chapel. I've been at it for two years now and I NEVER get bored with it because there are always more things to find out about it."

Anthony Watkins, Great Walstead Magazine 1987.
