Welcome to episode #40 and today's show with Lighting & Scenic Designer Justin Townsend. Justin is spearheading a brand new program at Brooklyn College to train Broadway Associates and he's here to tell us all about it. Cory and Justin also dig into many corners of his design process from the plotting stage, to meetings with directors, to his almost whimsy like process of discovery in the theatre. He also shares his thoughts on the responsibility of the LD to be energy efficient, his stance on the 'save Tungsten' debate, the influence of one of his mentors, Chris Akerlind, and his current production of "Hamlet" at Classic Stage Company. And Justin teaches Cory about sailing!
