Stage Lighting Super Saturday is an all day workshop devoted to training people who are interested in theatrical lighting design and technology. Founded in 2005 by Sonny Sonnenfeld with his partner Scott C. Parker, Super Saturday is a mix of topics ranging from the art of stage lighting to what the gear does and how to control it.
Pictured here are (L to R)
Natasha Katz, Ken Billington, and Jennifer Tipton.
