A Practical Guide to Stage Lighting

I bought this book as a Christmas gift for my son who started college this year for lighting tech/designer. Very informative and interesting book. Like the pictures.

covers all the basic principles of lighting design, and contributed immensely to my latest design, a huge jump in effectiveness, from my previous designs, both artistically and practically. i feel like i can eventually enter a theatrical tech program with relative confidence and ease (money permitting, *le sigh*) with the practical experience that this book provides.

A very complete and well-organized guide to contemporary stage lighting practices. Lots of forms and particulars for both experienced and less experienced members of the craft.

Good Reference!

This is a beautiful book on stage lighting. It'd clear, concise, and at least for me showed a systematic way to light for the stage.I learned a lot from it, and learned somethings that I knew but didn't know why.

If you are learning lighting design, then you need this book. It's a no-nonsense and very detailed how-to. I use it more as a handbook than anything else.

wonderful book. Made of hours of theatres and years of experiences. I recommend this for learning and improving the skills in lighting design

Textbook arrived quickly and was accurately described.
