Lonely Planet
Carnegie Mellon Univeristy
LONELY PLANET BY STEVEN DIETZ
​Lonely Planet is a play about two friends in the height of the AIDS crisis coming together through memory and hardship. The show takes place in Jody's Map Store and Car continues to come in adding chairs and filling the space.​
Director: Carlos Martinez

Asst. Sound Design: Ningning Renee Yang
​
The sound design for Lonely Planet is a mix of acoustic string
instruments, chair sounds, whispers, and live violin. The hanging phone is a built-in speaker suspended in the air. To make the chairs speak, I used an IEM on the first chair which roamed around with whispers. The play tells a story dealing with loss and finding hope.
