Boy oh boy was I in for a treat this weekend when I bought a voucher for 'Iolani's Spring Musical,
The Wiz. Initially, I went for extra credit, but after the s
how was over, I was quite amused and happy that I went. Not only was I in awe at the talent of my peers in acting as well as playing in the pit, I was amazed at the lights, sounds, and effects of the entire show. In one part of the play, the tornado is portrayed by utilizing a strobe light which created a wild effect of chaos. What was most interesting was the use of green lights and green glasses during parts where the play took place in Emerald City. During intermission (while I was patiently waiting in line to use the bathroom), I sudden realized how much these light effects utilized physics and the Electromagnetic Spectrum! But how did they make those lights so green!? That's when in the middle of the bathroom floor appeared
The DOC! of Oz!! One cannot imagine how much that appearance scared me. Anyways,
The Doc! of Oz! came down before me and explained that the green lights utilized light filters.
Because white visible light is made up of a spectrum of colors that are each electromagnetic waves with different frequencies and wave lengths, filters can break down the light and only allow the green portion through. WOW! Thanks to physics, the production was able to utilize great effects to make the Emerald City that much more spectacular. I guess they should've added DOC! and the physics department to the list of acknowledgments. Lesson of the week: Bathrooms are great places for epiphanies. Congratulations to all those who took part in the production of
The Wiz. It was fantastic.
