After discussing ideas with the director as well as hearing about his visions for the direction of the show he decided he wanted a 'club' feel, with the style that these girls are going up at a big open mic night and sharing their stories. After a some research I came across a stage cross lit, kissing the walls, which were brick in the research. I felt highlighting the curtains would be all the better.

I settled on Midnight Blue (#384) due to the slight hint of red in it that would mix well with Light Red (#26). I chose the Light Red due to the slight hint of pink and while I didn't want to use pink heavily, due to the nature of the show I felt that some subtle femininity was important. They were used alternatively, Light Red for the more passionate pieces, Midnight Blue for the lighter ones and I mixed the both during certain more poignant points in the show.
