Production Electrician on City of Angels

Posted on by Andrew

City of Angels is a musical comedy with music by Cy Coleman, lyrics by David Zippel, and a book by Larry Gelbart. The musical weaves together two plots: the world of a writer trying to adapt his novel into a screenplay, and the world of the film he is writing.

Final show of my degree show which was then closed due to Covid. This show was a challenge but also rewarding as I had the challenge of trying to source and fulfilling the designer’s requirement of the 1940s theme.

Main Responsibilities;

  • Fulfilling the Lighting Designer’s Design for the show but source kit.
  • Managing a small crew of four with two deck support and two follow spot operators.
