“Brian Prather's set design is relatively simple, but lighting designer Robert Perry bathes it in luxurious colors so that the sunsets rival nature and the striated lighting in a train station effectively reflects the fracturing of Tevye's family.”

LEON RABIN AWARD
BEST LIGHTING DESIGN - 2001
Robert Perry "The Night of The Iguana"
*nomination
Spangler’s set is the perfect foil for Rob Perry’s brilliant lighting. He does more than create mood and focus, but his work almost becomes a character in itself. In the final moments of the play, amidst the burgeoning hope inspired on William’s veranda, Perry’s lighting seems to dance around the edges creating the illusion that the demons haven’t been completely vanquished, but kept at bay for the moment.
DRAMA DESK AWARD

Mr. Spangler and Mr. Perry make marvelous use of the play of repeated shadows, of both words on signs and technological images, against the gleaming chrome of the set.
