Light Talk with The Lumen Brothers


LIGHT TALK is a place where lighting designers can feel free to express what really annoys them about the industry, lighting education, and the art of stage lighting design. Inspired by the beloved NPR radio show, "CAR TALK", LIGHT TALK features the musings and rantings of David Jacques, Stan Kaye, and Steve Woods. These three designers have been lighting the stages of the world for many, many decades. Burnt out and abused by the industry and the insanity of the profession, Stan, Steve, and David have escaped to the hallowed halls of academia where they wildly and fearlessly pontificate to innocent students of the art. LIGHT TALK takes these rantings to the world. Look for our weekly Pod Cast discussing the issues of our time. Nothing is Taboo, Nothing is Sacred, and very little makes sense. Welcome to LIGHT TALK!

In this episode of LIGHT TALK, The Lumen Brothers talk about everything from Recognizing Video and Projection Designers to "Deinstitutionalizing".

Join Brackley, Stan, David, and Steve as they pontificate about: Celebrating Brothers Brackley's and Stan's retirement; Wendall Harrington's Tony; How to create a fire effect without burning down the theater; How dichroic filters work; The importance of Site Surveys; Last Minute Cueing Bonus; Is it unethical to change the lighting after opening night; Summer reading suggestions; Nonsuch Records; How to light "Dracula";  and what does Phish and Ben and Jerry's have in common?

Nothing is Taboo, Nothing is Sacred, and Very Little Makes Sense.
