WHITE LIGHTNING (2019)
AT TRIAD STAGE
Sound Design Concept
In White Lightning, I mixed the every day life of Avery McAllister with the high-intensity life of a Moonshiner. I also placed small speakers in an oval formation over the audience to create the illusion of moving sound for the scenes that took place at the race track. The actors were mic’d so that I could manipulate their voices during the more surrealist scenes.
Avery McAllister finds his calling running moonshine and racing cars for Hank Taylor, but with money and reputation at stake he soon questions what he'll do to win. Set during the early days of NASCAR, White Lightning is the story of rebellious moonshiners who liked to live hard and drive fast, and the American racing legacy they helped create.
