“I love big, bold graphic looks, audience sweeps, stabs, etc. and don’t have a problem putting lights in the audience. I use a ‘five second rule’ in that the beam should not stay in an audience members eyes longer than that, especially with Sharpys. No one wants their client on stage looking out at the audience and seeing anyone shielding their eyes and not looking at them.”
-Kevin ‘Stick’ Bye, as quoted by Chris Lose for “LD-at-Large,” PLSN, Oct. 2017 page 108.
