End of Academic Year/Start of the Summer

Yesterday I defended my Major Project Paper on True West, and received a lot of positive feedback on the project.  After the project defense I finished up my last hour of assistantship labor by putting away a bunch of light trees and picking up tieline, and thus ends my second year of graduate school at Minnesota State University, Mankato.

Waiting for me in my e-mail inbox when I came home was preliminary scenic design conceptual renderings for How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, which I will be designing lights for this summer for Gooseberry Park Players.  The renderings have a lot of very fun aspects which I look forward to working with.  And thus begins my fourth summer working with Gooseberry Park Players.  Once I move back to Fargo/Moorhead on Wednesday, I will be meeting with the director, Jim Cermak and will start designing the show, and will hopefully have a design ready to hang at the beginning of June.
