Ayrton Mistral and Diablo-S for ‘Beetlejuice’ and ‘Long Lost’

Lighting designer Ken Posner selected Ayrton Mistral and Diablo-S fixtures for the Broadway musical ‘Beetlejuice’ and the Off-Broadway one-act play ‘Long Lost’. ‘Beetlejuice’ opened at the Winter Garden Theatre earlier this year; ‘Long Lost’ made its New York premiere at The Manhattan Theatre Club’s Stage I with a six-week run.

Posner’s use of Ayrton’s Mistral on ‘Beetlejuice’ marked his first deployment of Ayrton fixtures. His associate lighting designer Anthony Pearson and moving light programmer David Arch collaborated in the decision to use the 300 W spot luminaires after ACT Lighting, Ayrton’s exclusive North American distributor, demo’d the fixtures for them.

Eight to ten Mistral fixtures light the entire large scenic unit while additional Mistrals fill in FOH in the light plot. The Mistrals were supplied for the musical by PRG.

For the Manhattan Theatre Club’s production of ‘Long Lost’, Posner chose a pair of Ayrton Diablo-S 300 W profile luminaires. The scenic design by John Lee Beatty comprised of three turn tables which transformed the space into five different realistic interiors.
