  6. Shiran Theater is a different animal entirely. The actors give the same performance night after night. Once the lighting and lighting cues are worked out, they stay the same—all the tweaking and adjustment is done prior to opening night. The style of lighting is determined by the subject matter and the director’s creative vision. If the subject matter required flat lighting, then the director might ask the LD for that.
