Alien Bees 800 attached to the beauty dish on an 11 foot boom. The setup is 
unwieldy, difficult to cart around, a pain in the rear to set up and 
requires sending assistants off to locate bricks or gallon jugs of fruit 
juice to counterweight, but the light is sharp and feathers beautifully. If 
I had a more weather-sealed permanant studio it might leave this sort of 
thing set up, because I really like the results, but I sure hate getting it 
out of the closet and putting the pieces together.

"No Exit" itself is a stark play where people's facades are broken down and 
the root of their imperfections revealed, so it seemed good to use a light 
that would be more cruel than kind, accentuating facial lines & eye shadows.

Perhaps we shall see some of your March 19th for the opening. Party 
afterwards. Fo shizzle.
