A dozen theater lighting professionals will speak. About 20 manufacturers will be on hand and have technical personnel and equipment to demonstrate.
Sonny Sonnenfeld says: "The programme is designed to educate beginners and new professionals who seek additional training. It will be 10 hours of hard work, fun, and a great learning experience."
The tentative program includes inspiration, stage lighting 101, fixtures, colour, consoles, moving lights, trouble shooting, paperwork, and other subjects. The seminar will take place at LaGuardia High School for the Fine and Performing Arts located across from New York City's Lincoln Center on 26 January 2008.
