Your Job: As the Color Technician, it is your job to gather information needed to solve Problem #2 being faced by the cast and crew of Annie, Jr. and use this information to propose a plan of action to solve this problem.

Problem #2- There are certain scenes in the play that require the stage to be lit by white light only. ALL of the white light bulbs in the stage lights have blown out.  The white light bulbs are very expensive and there is no money in the budget to purchase new bulbs. The only available replacement light bulbs are red, yellow, blue, purple, green, and orange. Is there some way to make white light using the available bulbs?
