You've got your script for the play you want to produce, you have a clear idea on what you want your set to look like, and you got your cast for the show; but your not done just yet. If you don't have a crew to help the actors out (such aslighting!), you won't even have a show for the audience to watch. By lighting, I don't mean to just shine a flash light at the stage and make the actors go, you definitely need skilled lighting technicians in the back to support you.
In lighting there are two goals: get enough light; use the light you have to shape and define objects in the scene. Lighting is often tried out "on paper" by using a lighting diagram before it's actually set. Many potential problems can be spotted in the process of constructing a lighting diagram. The most common of these is to light for a theoretical "stage front" instead of lighting for specific camera positions. It's also useful in anticipating problems with shadows falling where they're not wanted. Every light casts a shadow
Adding to this, with just the right colors or pictorial designs on stage, you could create a whole new look to a show and bring out the best in everything: actors, set design.
