Clayton Community Theatre presented A Soldier's Play in November 2019, for which I received a Theater Mask Award for Outstanding Lighting Design from Arts for Life.
Scenes in the play take place in a number of locations on a military base; many of them involve a person telling a story, while the story is also acted out in flashback. I used color contrasts to distinguish the actions happening in the present (the telling of the story) and the flashback. As well, lighting was used in some cases to delineate space.
In a small square office outlined in light, a soldier tells a story acted out behind him (while another soldier relaxes in the barracks):
A soldier in the stockade (jail bars supplied by lighting):
