To All the Lights in the Windows

TO ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE WINDOWS WAS A WORLD PREMIERE PLAY. IT TACKLED THE DIFFICULTY OF ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS AND HOW YOU WILL DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE. IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT THE SET BE MULTIFUNCTIONAL AS ACT ONE TOOK PLACE OUTSIDE OF A MENTAL HOSPITAL WHILE ACT TWO TOOK PLACE INSIDE. THE SET REQUIRED THE ABILITY TO BE COMPLETELY FLIPPED DURING THE TEN MINUTE INTERMISSION. IT WAS ALSO IMPORTANT THAT THE SET BE SUBTLE ENOUGH TO MAKE THE WORDS AND ACTORS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE SHOW.
