LIGHTS DOWN. Lights STAY DOWN throughout the piece. Each FLASH is a point at which a flashlight is turned on to illuminate a still image on stage, as if part of a photo booth picture series. These stills are lit just long enough for the audience to take in the image, then blackness again.
"Nick Price in neutral" is Nick's default solo mug to the camera, and should look identical every time it is repeated if at all possible.
