Reals by Gwydion Suilebhan is a 2 scene short play (roughly 90 min). "Jack has worked hard to develop his “real-life superhero” persona. He works out every day, hones his skills as a former member of the Coast Guard, and devotes endless hours to perfecting his costume. Now, as Nightlife—the man who brings life to the night—he’s ready to start fighting crime. Or at least… he thinks he is. With his partner and confidant, Laney—a reluctant hero named Belt with advanced martial arts training—he’s assembling a team to walk the streets at night and start attacking crime head-on. He has zeal, big muscles, and a superhero code to live up to… but not much more. When Jack and Laney start interviewing potential team members, however, the façade of their crazy ambitions begins to crumble. Deceit, lies, and secrets slowly unravel their trust, until a shocking act of real violence perpetrated by Sensei—the first hero they consider adding to the team—reveals the truth Nightlife has been hiding beneath his suddenly very flimsy mask, cape, and nickname." - Synopsis, New Play Exchange

I was the lighting designer for this wonderful production. The play is set in a warehouse so I played off of that cold, distant, off in the middle of nowhere feeling for the very intimate space that is the Cave Theatre. 

​

I also came up with the rep. plot that was used in three productions for the fall 2019 semester. (see right)
