Rosco Laboratories Inc. to Present First Hemsley Blue (R361)
Royalty Check to the Hemsley Lighting Programs
Rosco Laboratories Inc. along with The Hemsley Lighting Programs, and its media partner Lighting&Sound America, are pleased to announce the presentation by Stan Miller (President, Rosco Laboratories) of the first royalty payment from the new color, Hemsley Blue (R361). Receiving the check on behalf of the programs will be Hemsley board member Ken Billington.
The presentation will take place at LDI in Las Vegas, on Saturday, October 21, 2006 at 10:30am in the Rosco Laboratories Inc. Booth (#515).
Hemsley Blue was created by Mark Stanley, resident lighting designer for the New York City Ballet at the suggestion of Stan Miller, in memory of Gilbert Hemsley. Rosco has pledged to donate the royalties from the sale of Hemsley Blue to support the Hemsley Lighting Programs, a not-for-profit foundation offering internships, master classes, USITT seminars, and professionally critiqued portfolio reviews as a tribute to the late Gilbert Hemsley.
During his lifetime as a noted Broadway, opera, and dance lighting designer and University of Wisconsin-Madison professor, Gilbert Hemsley dedicated himself to the training of young theatre professionals. For 23 years his spirit and legacy have lived on through the generous support of his students, colleagues, and friends. Each year the Hemsley Lighting Programs strive to bring students and professionals together in unique ways that bridge the gap between the academic and professional worlds. Rosco's support will help allow these opportunities to continue meeting this important challenge.
