Light Up the Sky is a three-act play written by the American playwright Moss Hart. It is a character driven satire with the fast-pacing of a farce, a simple plot, medium-sized cast, and only one setting. The action is concerned with the interrelations of theater people before and after a first night tryout, when they experience nervous anticipation, perceived failure, and unexpected success in sequence. The play became known before its premiere as well-founded rumors suggested some characters were modelled on actual theatre personalities. There are allusions to figures from the larger world of New York shows, including Belasco and George Jean Nathan, as well as topical references to the late 1940s stage scene. The most egregious of these was Hart's mention of real drama critics then active
