Max Hetchman- Ziggy Bornas’ lighting design is particularly notable—Broadway-caliber in scope and imagination—using light to shape mood and reveal emotional beats in a way that elevates the whole piece, especially during the number “Uninvited.” Sound and pacing are tight, keeping the show propulsive without rushing the quieter moments.
Canvas Rebel- “I always had a love for storytelling. I was always amazed by how magical theater was, and how it drew me in. I thought that making worlds was super cool. I started playing with color and light and realized the power that they have.”
Bold Journey- “Not everyone has a reality that they enjoy, and the fact that people can come to watch theater brings them into a world for 90 minutes a night is magical. I believe that everyone should have access to theater, and as a designer, I try to draw the audience in”
Canvas Rebel - “It’s sitting in the audience on opening night and watching the work that me and my team have spent months working on, come together. The magic of watching different elements of design combine into one is truly a one of a kind feeling.”
Broadway World - “Elevating the production's visual and technical aspects are acclaimed talents such as Ziggy Bornas, winner of the 2023 Broadway World Off-Broadway Awards, returning as Lighting Designer”
Broadway World - “Best Lighting Design (Off-Off Broadway) Ziggy Bornas - VIOLET - NxtGen Theatrics”
