I have been a part of this Pageant Ministry for over11 years serving as a choir member, actor, producer, co-writer and technical director. Countless numbers of our cast and crew have changed their lives and dedicated themselves to Christ because of witnessing or being a part of this incredible production (see for information about our pageant and to see images of past presentations). Many lives are impacted by this visual portrayal of not only the birth, but the life, death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is one of the most amazing ministries I’ve ever been a part of. Our church produces an annual Christmas Pageant at our local Civic Center each year during the weekend before Christmas.
You now have the ability to design in virtual reality and to not only see the results, but to modify and enhance your design, pre-cue your entire show, print out all supporting documents (such as your light plot, hang plot, instrument and gel inventory, etc.), and to actually render out photo-realistic high-resolution images as well! With advanced versions of WYSIWYG you can actually run your show real-time in virtual reality, thereby giving you the ability to actually walk through your entire cue-list seeing the simulated results on the screen.įrom my own personal experience with WYG (short for WYSIWYG), I can tell you that a person with limited or no stage lighting experience can use this tool to design and run even the most complicated of shows.
In much the same way, WYSIWYG (the lighting design package) does the exact same thing for lighting designers. Thus, what you saw (on the screen) is what you got (when you printed it out).

Once Microsoft Windows and the new windows-based word processors came on the scene, we no longer had to use our imagination as to what the finished text would look like it was immediately visible on the screen. That’s because the text-based word processors could not display on the screen what those attributes and properties of the text would look like. These special characters would indicate such attributes and properties as bolding, underlining, and italics to name a few. Word processors from the pre-Windows era were not “WYSIWYG” in that in a text-only display you would see embedded or “special” characters along with the real text. It stands for “What you see is what you get”, indicating that what you see on the screen is exactly what you will get with the finished product. WYSIWYG is an acronym that has been around the computer industry since the advent of the Windows operating system.

WYSIWYG is a lighting design software package produced by Cast Software Ltd. Experienced designers have most likely developed the ability to design with a real good idea of what the finished product will look like, but what about those of us that are either new to lighting design or have very little experience? That’s where WYSIWYG comes in. One of the most difficult aspects of stage lighting design is that without a tremendous amount stage lighting knowledge and experience, it’s very difficult to know exactly how your design will look until you actually hang and test it, let alone, the difficulties of trying to pre-cue your show.
