2024 USITT Barbizon Lighting Company Jonathan Resnick Lighting Design Award
2023 Vectorworks Design Scholarship Winner
“In contrast to the unity of Mayer-Staley’s set, Xotchil Musser’s lighting design helps to create vibrant, trippy scenes that are neither here nor there, while also offering signposts that could help the audience locate themselves within the time warp.”
“The design elements are masterfully integrated, with lighting (Xotchil Musser) projections (Cat Wilson) and sound (Aaron Landgraf), all merging to provide an augmented backdrop to the performance.”
“Xotchil and I also worked together to choose a backdrop that would give us both the aquatic feel while still letting us differentiate between places in the play. With many yards of cheap chiffon, Xotchil’s dynamic lighting design glowing against the fabric transported the actors out of their homes and onto the beach.”
“Ten theatre students have been selected to participate in this year's Cody Renard Richard Scholarship Program.
