The End of an Era

Today marks the passing of a brilliant theatre artist, Lighting Designer Tharon Musser. I wish I could comment more on her impact in the craft of lighting design, but I want to leave that up to Kendall Smith in an upcoming interview. Ken served as an assistant to her for a time and to this day I still hear him say in the theatre, "Tharon would do..." It saddens me to have never met Tharon but her stories, and her designs will live on. In fact, there is currently a book out on Tharon's life and work put together by several of her assistants if you care to look it up and give it a read, I enjoyed the read. It's been a while but I'll try and get a mini review and link up for it here soon.

Have questions you want to know about Tharon and her work? Leave a comment and I'll do my best to ask.
