There are as many ways to design lights as there are lighting designers, what is discussed here is the basic's you need to know to light a show.

Three point lighting

This a key principle of a basic lighting rig, the idea is the any part of the stage can be lit by three lights, two from the front "frontlights" and one from the back "backlight".

In these example images, the two front lights have two similar but different shades and the back-light a contrasting colour.
