Theatre UCF's Production of Welcome to the Moon. Full stage image, the full cast stands on the stage for bows. The set prominently features two moons, one is suspended in the air, the other is a platform on the ground. There are two walls comprised of solely of window facades. Each window is a different size, shape, and color and is decorated differently. Photographer Syd Deines.

"This is a collection of six separate stories of people reaching out to find love, old and new, blending humor, poetry and truth into each story."

-From the Theatre UCF Website

This show took place in Theatre UCF's black box theatre. The production was dedicated to Mark Brotherton, who selected the play for himself to direct before his passing. Mark had a letter he sometime gave to graduating students, and as part of the dedication to him, alumni were recorded reading the letter to play during the course of the show. The whimsicality and magic of Mark's legacy was central to this production.

Doors were designed to be selectively transparent to create special ethereal scenes.

An actor exits through the doors. His back is turned towards the camera and he is silhouetted in the lights coming from behind the doors.

Three actors have a conversation with each other across a small bar.

We worked collaboratively with the lighting designer to install practical lights such as a lantern and streetlamp as well as ambient specials such an LED tape ambient glow around the moon and hanging "stars"
