That’s eight shows out of 32 that will open this season (two shows do not yet have a lighting designer attached), only 25%. Natasha Chivers designed 1984, which has already closed. Paule Constable will design both parts of Angels in America and Mimi Jordan Sherin will do Three Tall Women. Peggy Eisenhauer co-designed Once on this Island with Jules Fisher, and the two will also do Carousel. Natasha Katz has done Meteor Shower and Springsteen on Broadway and will do Frozen. This Broadway season, eight shows will have a female lighting designer.
Musser has 122 between 19, including A Chorus Line, The Wiz, and the original Follies. Rosenthal has 85 Broadway lighting design credits between 1942 and her death in 1969, notably West Side Story, Fiddler on the Roof, and Cabaret. With Rosenthal and then Tharon Musser, lighting became a distinct discipline. Before that, stage lighting was in the purview of the electrician, who took cues from the set designer or director.
In the first half of the 20th century, Jean Rosenthal shaped what would become known as lighting design. One would think that a profession created by women would remain in the hands of women, but for theatrical lighting design that has not been the case, and questions persist in the minds of many of today’s lighting designers: Can women hold on to their legacy? Are they disappearing from the profession? In the last century, women were at the forefront of lighting design’s major changes, both technological and conceptual, and yet men have dominated its ranks. * NOTE: Do not copy/paste the above email address as it isĮncoded with SPAM protection.Women lighting designers started in the spotlight.
