Description

Summary

1. Lighting designer Natasha Katz talks about her career with Newsday critic Linda Winer. Katz expounds her work for the Disney organization on the musicals Beauty and the Beast, Aida, and Tarzan, Tom Stoppard's trilogy The coast of Utopia, and the new production of A chorus line, in which she pays homage to the work of its original lighting designer Theron Musser. Katz elaborates as well on her lighting design for the 1998 Lincoln Center Theatre production of Twelfth night, directed by Nicholas Hytner, and on her sense that her work isn't always recognizable to audiences; how she sees her role as lighting designer in relation to a production's creative heirarchy; and the mentorship and support she received from others in the field of lighting design in developing her career.
