Tyler Micoleau and John Cariani Interview

If you've seen even a handful of Off-Broadway shows in the past 15 years...chances are you've seen the great work of this week's guest, lighting designer Tyler Micoleau. Tyler has a ton of insight into the non-profit world having worked at essentially every major Off-Bway company and many of the regional theatres around the country. Cory and Tyler chat about his work in shows like 'The Invisible Hand' and 'The Wayside Motor Inn' and how he has become a master at lighting box sets with limited lighting positions. He also gives us a window into his process for 'Be More Chill' at Two River Theatre, how he uses limited resources to his advantage, and the kinds of conversations he has with directors and scenic designers. And finally the topic you've been waiting for...we do a deep dive into the world and usage of LED tape!
