Art department Seniors in this space included Morgan Bell, Emily Bryan, Aleah Chapman,  Kelsey Offield, John Ruszel and Brian Seldt.  Using theatrical lighting instruments, rather than traditional art gallery lighting, this group of artists’ works were displayed in a very unique fashion.

If you notice Professor Roberta Russell grinning more than usual, it could be because yesterday (Thursday, Oct 1) she placed our order for a brand new lighting console for Raisbeck Performance Hall!
So, lighting designer Josh Tillman, and Master Electrician Coby Chasman-Beck get to break in our brand new ETC Ion console when they go into tech for The Philadelphia Story.

We loved our old Obsession 600, but sometimes, even an obsession needs to come to an end (regardless of what Calvin Klein might try to tell you).

For those who are impatient, details about the board, including a downloadable manual and tutorials, can be found on the ETC site here
