Director Steven Segal shared his vision for this unique production: "I really wanted to do something that was unique, challenging, and would be an experience for all ... My first-ever directorial play was this past season with 'Gaslight,' which was an incredible challenge in itself.
Following that I really wanted to do something that not only would be equally as challenging story-wise, but wanted to further increase the difficulty and experience for the audience by replicating a black-and-white film appearance live on stage. I am extremely happy with the results and cannot wait to share them with our community"
Through meticulous painting, makeup, attention to detail, and innovative lighting techniques, Segal and his team have successfully recreated the mesmerizing black-and-white aesthetics, ensuring an unforgettable visual journey that will captivate both the audience and the dedicated actors on stage.
