3rd Lighting Observation

February 18th, 2026 – 10:34 pm – Monroe Theater
I’m the President of Makin’ Treble, so my executive board and I were briefly meeting after rehearsal to discuss some upcoming events. We were seated on the stage, which wasn’t directly lit which made it seem dim, but the house lights were on. There are various television screens around the room (one on stage, one at the back of house, and two at either side of the house), which were also on very brightly and displayed a blue computer home screen with the Hofstra logo on it.
The house lights were dim and took on a warm hue, but it was interesting to see how overpowering the blue screens around the theater were. They were very bright, but more than anything overly cool toned when compared to the rest of the theater. The house remained a sort of neutral tone since the blue was mixing with the warm house lights, but the stage, with no direct light, was almost entirely lit by blue. This created a stark difference between house and stage environments.
