'Dark Tower' Depends On Creative Lighting And Special Scenery Lighting Will Change With The Characters According To Mood Special scenery and angles in lighting will add much to the total effectiveness of "Dark Tower" which the University Players are now preparing for an opening night early in March. "The most important thing in the staging of this play is the lighting effects," said Director M. C. Chris tophersen Wedlnesday. ."One re markable thing is that we use no footlights at all-nothing but over heads and spots. Then the total amount of light on the stage will vary with the mood of the charac ters. At times there will be tri angles on the stage which are in al most total darkness, while the rest is perfectly bright."
