From a set designer's point of view, a good photographer who actually shoots sets along with actors is a rare jewel. Many thanks.

I loved this show! A great script with a powerful idea (Vicki Cheatwood); ideal cast and director (Tim Johnson); really in-sync design team... And, as you can guess from this photo, I especially loved the lighting by Aaron Johansen.

One side note on that lighting:
See the coolo lighted slots between the wood strips of the wall behind the guitarist? At the same time Ruth was on-stage, the Dallas Theater Center's set for its Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat had a similar detail. (Scenery designed by the amazing Bob Lavalee.) The DTC accomplished their effect by many man-hours of cutting strips of Plexiglass TM to fit between their slats.
We did the exact same thing in half an hour using $1 worth of masking tape.
Funny.
Just goes to show that ideas aren't always limited by budget. In our case, the wonderful precision of the set builder (Steve Leary) made that cheap masking tape ploy work.
