Techies

As the juniors have decided to enter the Tech category of this year's DTASC festival, Kim and I have been persuaded to aid in the set and lights department. This is something new for the both of us as we did not take this opportunity last year. In part, I am quite glad that we did not considering the great amount of work and time that must go into preparing for this portion of the festival. With only five students to work on an entire production for this category would have been draining. Luckily, the larger number of students this year will make the process a bit easier. Tennessee Williams's works have been selected for production in the technical aspects. The students that will actually be presenting the final project to the judges have decided on Williams's The Glass Menagerie. I have read the first few pages, but I cannot seem to get beyond the stage directions. It seems quite complex which means it will be all the more difficult for the set people. This somewhat worries me as it seems as though it will only be Kim and I working on the set. As we do not really consider this tech assignment as one of our own projects, I hope that the other students will realize it is not our main concern. I don't know what it is but it seems as though everyone's looking for the easy way out.
