Does anyone have any ideas for making sunsets? We have several in an upcoming show and would like them to be beautiful. Lights? Fabric? Lights and fabric?

I would say lights are the best way to go. Does you theater have a cyc?

We just have a concrete wall -- and it's not very smooth.
We have an ensemble of about 10 people whom we'd like to use as much as possible. The script says "Ensemble could create this sunset through the use of shards of red, yellow, orange and purple lightweight, translucent fabric, waved like shredded banners or ribbons from wings on each side of the stage in a Japanese Noh-Theater-like fashion.This would embellish a central glow of stagelighting--on the backdrop--as it changes colors and slowly descends."
Clear as mud. Are the "shards" stretched across the stage? Wouldn't this just look like a poor attempt at being "creative"?
We're thinking of using two banks of multi-bulbed lights and changing the gels for each sunset, although that wouldn't use our ensemble--and the colors would only be different horizontally, not in a layered fashion.
Hmmm.
