Christina Watanabe (Assistant Professor, UNLV Theatre) is the Lighting Designer for the world premiere of The Getaway Driver at acclaimed regional theatre Trinity Repertory Company in Providence, RI. UNLV Alumna Jocelyn Davis-Coronado was the Assistant Lighting Designer on this production.

Inspired by the remarkable true story of Katherine Ann Power and Clare Schroeder, The Getaway Driver is a gripping new drama that follows two women bound by a life-altering moment.

The Boston Globe praises "[c]reative lighting designed by Christina Watanabe ...effectively facilitates the storytelling." This production is part of a rolling world premiere that will move to Boston in October and Vermont in February.
